    This vigorous Passion Flower vine is one that is grown for its edible fruit, sweet granandilla. The fruit is 3” long. It is ripe when the color is orange-yellow & has white dots on the rind.

The flowers are very ornamental. They have whitish green petals & many, many purple and white filaments. They have a sweet & musky scent. Native to Mexico & South America.
