Growing notes
- Different species from edible passionfruit (Passiflora edulis) — it is the aerial parts of P. incarnata that carry the studied medicinal activity
- Hardy to zone 5 — far more cold-tolerant than the fruiting passionfruit
- Always consult a qualified medical or herbal practitioner before using any plant medicinally
