Passion Flower Care Guide Beautiful climbing vines with striking flowers. They begin blooming in June and July and continue until hard frost. Increasingly popular grown on trellises, fences, or arbors. Also known as MAYPOP, attractive, hardy perennial vine native to the Eastern US. Freezes to the ground in the winter and regrows, flowers, and bears a tasty fruit the next season. The oval or round, 2" diameter fruits produced in late summer have a leathery rind and a yellowish, juicy, aromatic flesh of tart but delightful flavor. The fruits are eaten fresh or used for juices and sherbets. Water vines during dry spells that may occur when they are growing actively. We don't have much on fertilizing passion vines but the Hawaiian Agricultural Extension Service recommends use of a 10-5-20 fertilizer in that state, where all soils lack nitrogen. in other areas you can use a fertilizer with lower nitrogen content. Give each young plant, soon after planting, 4 cups of fertilizer; and make a second application of the same six to eight weeks later. Native passion fruit vines will pop up from the ground away from the mother plant. These plants can cause problems if they come up say in your asparagus bed. So.... plant your vine in an area that may have lawn close by or some other type deterrent to the vine won't spread where you don't want it to go.
