Hello there!

I felt bad for you that no one has posted a response for a whole month... so I decided to write something.

This is not likely the response you want, but here it is anyway: Your best bet is to try more seed germination methods. P. incarnata is one of the easier Passifloras to germinate. You may also just have a bad batch of seeds, so replacing them with new ones is not a bad idea either. The fresher the better.

Seedlings do not really transport well, so even if you found someone to send them to you, you would likely not get them to live well, unless they were pretty large seedlings, which I would just call "plants".

Good luck to you. If you need tips on germination, feel free to email me personally. I'd be happy to help.

Carolyn I'm not sure where you are located but I see that you are in zone 7. P. incarnata is one of the few passifloras that I occasionally see at the local nurseries. Even HD has them once in a great while but there's several online nurseies that carry them. Lazy SS Farm has them in stock and they are reliable. I'm sure you can find several others if you do an online search. Just check the nursery out on gardenwatchdog first if you've never bought from them before.

I just now saw this post. Last evening we pulled out so much of this plant. It was taking over our patio. It literally filled my truck bed and there is more to get. It's coming up all over the yard. I, just, mow it down as it comes up. I wish we had planted it on the outskirts of the yard and not in the flower bed. The flowers are beautiful and the fruit is fun. We put the fruit, once dried out, in baskets and use them for decoration.

If someone wants some fruit this fall, for the seeds, let me know.
