Passiflora incarnata ‘SnowPop’

Hardly is there a flower that evokes a sense of the tropical more than the passion flowers. Passiflora incarnata is the hardiest of the passionflowers and is native to the eastern US where it grows as a herbaceous vine. Maypops have incredibly intricate typically purple and lavender flowers that are followed by greenish yellow, tasty and tangy passionfruits. ‘SnowPop’ is a special pure white form. May freezes to the ground and comes back in the spring. Self-fertile though plants are apparently andromonoecious producing hermaphroditic and male flowers on the same vine. Under conditions, seasons or years when plants produce a higher proportion of male flowers, there can be less to no fruit set. So if your goal is to get fruit, plant more than one vine and, for good measure, choose different cultivars/clones since pollination in many plants can be more complete when plants with different genetics cross.
