Passiflora Foetida
Passiflora foetida – A Tropical Vine with Delicious Fruits
Passiflora foetida, also known as Love-in-a-Mist or Pop Vine, is a fast-growing perennial vine. Native to tropical regions of the Americas, Asia, and the Pacific Islands, it can reach up to 13 feet (4 meters) in height using its clinging tendrils.
Flowers and Fruits
This highly variable species produces striking flowers in shades of pink, white, blue, or purple. When cultivated, it can bloom year-round, especially in greenhouse conditions. Its 2.5-inch (6 cm) wide flowers are followed by small, orange fruits with a sweet-tart flavor, similar to Passiflora edulis, but smaller.
Growing and Care
- Light: Full sun to partial shade
- Watering: Daily in summer, reduced in winter
- Soil: Well-draining mix with some peat moss
- Fertilizing: Every two weeks during the growing season
- Pruning: Regular pruning encourages flowering and prevents excessive growth
Hardiness and Climate
Suitable for USDA zones 9 to 11, this passionflower thrives in warm, humid climates. It tolerates minimum temperatures of 25°F (-5°C) but should be protected from frost. When grown in a container, a pot size of around 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter helps control growth and encourages blooming.

| Germination | Soak seed in warm water for 24 hours before sowing, in a good seed compost at 1/4" deep. For Passiflora seeds, instead of using water you can use a high pulp fruit juice such as passion fruit juice or orange juice. The acid in these juices will soften the shell and speed up germination. Keep damp soil, not soaking wet. Keep pot in warm situation 20øC/68øF, 24øC/75øF. Cover the top of the pot with clear plastic so the humidity will remain high. When you see some tiny plants starting to sprout, slowly open the top of the pot, a little each day, so that the new seedlings don't go into shock from the humidity being lowered too quickly. Germination of Passiflora can occur in weeks or take several months. If you want to speed up germination, you can use the bottom heat technique, but it isn't a must. |
| Scarification / Stratification | If your home is on the low side of 70§F, your seeds will benefit from bottom heat. Give warmth from underneath to stimulate early growth, and to help seeds to germinate. The ideal situation is to maintain the soil temperature at 70§F. For this, you use an electric soil warming cable kit, or a heating mat that goes under your flats; or any other source of heat. With the proper temperature, you will cut by 2 or 3 the germination time. |
