17 of the Best Passionflower Species and Hybrids to Grow at HomeMany people in the US are most familiar with the purple passionflower, with its purple petals and corona, topped with yellow anthers and stamens.
In Europe, growers love the similar-looking bluecrown passionflower, and it’s the most popular variety there.
But few gardeners are closely acquainted with the red banana passionfruit, with its long fuchsia-red petals and insignificant corona.
Or what about Jamaican honeysuckle, featuring relatively petite petals and massive purple and white striped filaments that droop to embrace the stigma and anthers?

Passionflowers come in a surprising range of colors, sizes, and shapes. There are nearly 600 known species in the Passiflora genus and over 700 recorded cultivars, most of which are hybrids. Most are vines, but some even have a tree-like growth habit.
The ripe fruit of most cultivated species is technically edible but most of them have a bitter, unpalatable flavor.
Unripe fruits and foliage contain toxic cyanic glycosides and should not be consumed. Unless otherwise noted, species and cultivars listed below should be grown for their ornamental value, not for eating.
If you’re interested in learning about some of the most common and worthwhile species and hybrids to grow at home, keep reading. Here’s what we’ll cover, coming right up:
