Passiflora morifolia, commonly known as the corky-stemmed passionflower, is a captivating and hardy vine found in various parts of the world, including North and Central America. This perennial climber is recognized for its intriguing and unique flowers, which are typically white with a pinkish-purple ring, with a central corona featuring greenish-white or cream-colored filaments. The plant is characterized by its deeply lobed leaves and tendrils, which it uses to climb and cover various structures such as fences, trellises, and arbors. While Passiflora morifolia produces small, round blue fruits that are edible but often not as commonly consumed as those of other passionfruit varieties, they have a mild and somewhat sweet taste. This passionflower is a popular choice for both ornamental and native gardens, adding a touch of elegance and intrigue while attracting pollinators like butterflies and bees with its captivating and unique blooms. Its adaptability and hardiness make it a cherished addition to diverse garden settings.  Zones 9-11

Germination

To germinate Passiflora morifolia, start by rubbing the seeds with a piece of fine-grit sandpaper. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to help soften the seed coat. Then, plant the seeds in a well-draining potting mix or sandy soil in a container or seed tray. Sow the seeds at a depth of about 1/4 inch, and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination process. Maintain a warm temperature of around 75-85°F (24-29°C) to encourage successful germination. Be patient, as passionflower seeds can take several weeks to several months to sprout. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted into your garden or larger containers.Â
