Passiflora incarnata is an herbaceous, climbing, or sprawling vine. Produces large lobed leaves and intricate showy, purple and white flowers that sprout at the leaf axils. Flowers are followed by small yellow fruits that audibly pop when crushed. The fruits have traditionally been used to make jams and jellies, and the foliage is an ingredient in many natural sleep aids. Spreads through rhizomes, and can be aggressive in moist soils. Host plant for Frittilary Butterfly caterpillars.
