Customer Reviews
This plant arrived in good condition. I waited a few days and then planted it. Since that time it has grown about 4” taller and is starting to get some new shoots at the base of the plant. I am looking forward to seeing flowers and fruit someday!
It arrived with a bad case of spider mites. Once I took care of those, it started to snap out of it.
This is the second time I tried planting the maypop. I so wanted it to work. The plant arrives well packaged and looks nice. But both times, as soon as I plant it in the ground it refuses to grow and dies off in a few weeks.
Please feel free to reach out to us so we can help you troubleshoot! Contact our customer service (Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM Pacific Time) at either 800-626-0866 or info@territorialseed.com

Passiflora incarnata
Initial Instructions
After unpacking, allow the plant a few days to gradually acclimate to full exposure. If you are keeping your passionflower in a container, re-pot it into any desired pot. If planting in the ground, select a location with well-drained soil, spacing the plants 3-5 feet apart. Provide a support structure for the vigorous vines to climb; a trellis, fence, or arbor should suffice.
Cultivation
The Maypop vine will die back to the ground during cold winters only to pop back up the following May. Flowers give way to small, yellow, edible passion fruits. Allow the vigorous vines to climb up trellises, over arbors, or on fences.
Water regularly during the first growing season, but do not allow the soil to become soggy. Fertilize lightly early in the season with a well-balanced fertilizer. For plants in the ground, mulch well in autumn to protect the roots; the vines may die back to the ground over the winter eventually naturalizing.
