Passion Flower Seeds produce a perennial climbing flowering plant commonly known in the United States as passion flower. Plants develop vigorous twining vines with lobed green leaves and produce large, exotic, fragrant flowers. This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained fertile soil and is suitable for garden beds, trellises, fences, or container cultivation in temperate to subtropical climates. Passion flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
