I think this is a passion vine...

I found out I needed two types to pollinate so I bought some seeds and this came up. It's still very young but can someone verify?

    They are pretty crazy climbers!

    If you want a passiflora for pollination get p.caerulea.

    I started off with that one. It's the most common one to find. So I needed a second which is Yellow edulis. They both do very well over the winter.

    The extreme cold killed it this winter but here is another one I received last year. It will go in the ground first week of March.

    I don't have a greenhouse, and I just have the variety that is zone 6a hardy, I planted it from a seed packette from Lowes, so am I doomed to having no fruit unless I can grow another variety that may be to tender to grow outdoors in ground in zone 6a Pa?

    I've tried to put up some cheap greenhouses for many years, but, they all blow apart each winter, and I don't want to spend a bunch of money to have a reallty expensive and quality greenhouse.

    I think the Passiflora that I've grown just 2 plants, they were from seed, maybe if they are a non-hybrid type, I could get fruit? Am I wrong?

    Did the seeds give you any info on what type of passionfruit they were? Some passionfruit plants can give limited fruit if another variety (like Frederick) is around and the bees pollinate it.

    I just know they were the hardiest kind, zone 6, most likely a species vine, I may have a packet from the seeds still, but, I'll have to look for it when it's daylight, we have a mama and 2 baby black bears seen a couple homes down from me (rural) so I'll be only going outside in the daylight. I will have to look around in our shed. I am thinking I won't get ripe fruits since I am in zone 6a. I had seen them in Williamsburg, Va they had a vine trained in a fancy way, and they didn't have any fruits yet in October, that I could see anyway. So, it will likely be an issue of hardiness, not really the type of Passiflora. I'm really thinking no fruit for me. Thanks Baconeater, I will try and find the seed packet, though.

    Well they certainly love sun. How big are your plants and have you seen any flowers?

    If you are talking to me, I have just 2 little vines about 3 feet tall in small pots still, no flowers, I will be planting them (well, at least 1 of em) in the ground in fall, that way, I plant just 1 and if it dies, I still have 1 left, I'll keep it in my basement, about 62 F all winter. I had sown seed last year in ground, but, nothing came up.
