This bizarre bloom belongs to the popular Passionfruit vine (Passiflora edulis). Not only is this decorative plant a perfect addition to your balcony or fence, it serves as a pollinator pad for butterflies and bees! You can also enjoy mouthwatering fruit starting in the summertime. These vines love to climb and can reach at least 8 feet across and just as high. You can purchase this pretty plant (and many others) at our Plant Sale this month.
