Notes
Banana passion fruit (Passiflora tarminiana) is a vine for borders, containers, and food gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It is evergreen and can climb 15 to 60 feet, so give it a strong support. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Red ginger, Shrimp plant, and Kimberly queen fern.
