There are at least five species of passionflower, Mudbug, of which Passiflora incarnata is the standard for medicinal purposes. It's also the most hardy, and will winter over in USDA Zone 6.
I have eaten passionflower in various forms, but not from my own vines. My vines rarely bear fruit because I harvest the flowers. Thus, I don't know when the fruits are ripe. |
