Best Passiflora for Containers?

Hi everyone,

Given my zone and space constraints in my garden I am looking for suggestions of relatively "compact passiflora" varieties to be grown in containers. I'd especially like to grow something with delicious fruit, if at all possible. I've seen P. edulis "Black Knight" and "Purple Possum" suggested for containers -- any experience with those? Alternatives? Varieties that aren't great for eating but look wonderful grown in a container/won't attempt to take over my house? Varieties with amazing rebloom, especially indoors? I'm happy to prune and find creative ways for plants to exist in my interior space. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Any passion vine you will need to prune it and have a trellis. They are not good for indoors over winter. They mostly only flower in summer lower light anything less then full direct sun the leaves will drop inside.
