Leslie Long on May 16, 2014One of my faves and very hardy here in FL. But be careful as the Passion Flower vines can be somewhat invasive and hard to get rid of.Helpful Reply

Sandy on May 16, 2014This shows gobs of pics of a passion plant. I had one and the blooms were so pretty! But they grew up all over that area in the yard so I dug it out and got rid of it. They'd pop up and grow several inches tall in the yard before we mowed a week later. I was still digging the new plants up in the yard the 2nd season. You can make jelly out of them. http://photobucket.com/images/passion%20flower?page=1Helpful Reply
