Passiflora incarnata, commonly known as maypop, purple passionflower, true passionflower, wild apricot, and wild passion vine, is a fast-growing perennial vine with climbing or trailing stems.
Passiflora incarnata, better known as maypop, is a hardy, fast-growing passion vine with intricate blooms, edible fruit, and serious pollinator cred. Unlike its tropical cousins, this perennial climber can survive freezing winters and “pop” right back up in spring—hence the name maypop.
“Maypops” is a short-cut term that is used to refer to maypop passion vines (Passiflora incarnata), rapid growing, tendril climbing vines, sometimes to the point of becoming weedy. Natives of the southeastern United States, these vines produce large, showy flowers followed by the maypop fruits.
The name Maypop comes from the hollow, yellow fruits that pop loudly when crushed. Native habitat: roadsides, prairies, meadows, pastures, woodland edges, stream and riverbanks.
Purple passionflower (Passiflora incarnata), commonly called maypop for the sound made when stepping on it, is a fast-growing, evergreen, and tendril-climbing vine. Purple passionflower is the hardiest of the passionflower species, best grown in full sun and well-draining, moist soil.
Maypop (Passiflora incarnata)–also known as the purple passion flower–is a widespread native vine in the passion flower family. It occurs almost everywhere in Alabama and grows in a wide variety of conditions.
