Passion Fruit

Passiflora edulis
In the United States: Introduced

Honeybees visit the large, fragrant flowers primarily for the abundant nectar, while also collecting the high-protein pollen. Blooming extends over several months in subtropical climates, offering a steady nectar flow during warm weather. As a fast-growing vine, it requires robust trellising or support to climb, and plants may suffer dieback in areas prone to frost.
