Passiflora ambigua
Passion Fruit
Description
Passiflora ambigua, commonly known as the ambiguous passionflower, is a climbing vine native to Central and South America. It's prized for its unique and beautiful flowers, which are white or pale pink with intricate, colorful filaments. The plant produces edible fruits, although they are not always considered to be of the best flavor. The leaves are usually three-lobed and add a lush, green backdrop to the blooms. Passiflora ambigua thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Provide a trellis or support structure for the vine to climb on. Regular watering is important, especially during the growing season.
