Notes
Sweet granadilla (Passiflora ligularis) is an evergreen vine for borders and containers. 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 blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Niobe clematis, Papyrus, and Little Gem southern magnolia.
