Notes
Giant granadilla (Passiflora quadrangularis) is a vine for borders and containers. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°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, loamy, or chalky soil. It stays evergreen and blooms in spring and again in summer. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Black-eyed Susan vine, Banana, Red ginger, and Kimberly queen fern.
