Passionflower is an American plant that grows from Texas to Florida and up through the lower Midwest to Pennsylvania. The fruits may pop when stepped on, and so they are also called Maypop. The Cherokee in the Tennessee area call it Ocoee, and the Ocoee river valley is named in its honor. The vines, leaves, and flowers make good sleep and anti-anxiety medicine. These fruits are deliciously sweet and tart! I drive home from the farm and eat one or two slowly, carefully removing the pulp from around each little seed.

Passionflower was so named by Spanish missionaries as a teaching tool to explain the passion of Christ - with many of the flower parts representing elements of Jesus's last days and crucifixion (10 petals and sepals = 10 faithful apostles; 5 stamens = 5 wounds; 3 stigmas = 3 nails; corona = crown of thorns; etc).

Passionflower nectar is abundant at the center of the crimped, disc-like corona, so honeybees, carpenter bees, and fritillary butterflies squeeze under one of the five stamens, getting a good pollen rub-down on their way in. At the next flower, the pollen will be received as they brush past one of the three stigmas. Pollination!

Our original seeds came from plants that grow semi-wild (but started as one garden plant and was spread by animals), at the Deitrich's farm outside Elmer, NJ, where the Experimental Farm Network flagship farm is based. Nathan Kleinman of EFN brought us a few fruits in 2015. We planted their seeds and now we have a sprawling patch in a corner of our hoop house for medicine, pollinator support, sweet/sour snacking, and seed saving.

Also known as Maypop, Passion Flower, Passion Vine, Ocoee.

Days to maturity: perennial - flowers in second year

Seeds per pack: 20

Germination rate: Botanical Sample - this seed has not been germination tested this year. Each year, we send them to a Department of Agriculture lab, and they usually find their germination rate to be around 25%. We find that when we follow the methods below, they have a much better germination rate, approaching 100%. 

Planting / harvesting notes

Passionflower seeds are known to be difficult to germinate. Here are a few methods to try: Place seeds in a moist paper towel in the refrigerator for one month before planting into warm, well draining soil. Alternatively, try soaking in warm water for 2 days and then nicking slightly with a blade before planting. Germination can take at least one month. Another method is to plant the seeds in the fall and allow them to overwinter in freezing temperatures for germination in the spring. This is a spreading perennial, and if it likes where it has been planted, it could grow long roots underground, popping up in nearby beds in coming years. Choose its home wisely and you will be graced with bountiful vines, blooms, and fruits!

Seed keeping notes

Seeds are ripe when the fruits become soft and perhaps slightly yellowed. Either suck the pulp off the seeds, or ferment the pulp and seeds in water for a few days and decant the pulp off the seeds.

Great!!!!!!!
Color: Black, Size: 38
The MOGU tuxedo set is an excellent, stylish product that works well for special occasions like proms, weddings, and parties. 1. Style and Appearance Modern Slim Fit: The suits are consistently praised for their slim-fit design, which provides a sharp, modern, and tailored silhouette. This contemporary cut is a major selling point for men looking to avoid the boxy fit of traditional rentals. Visual Appeal: The tuxedo sets look very much like the pictures online, often featuring stylish details like shawl lapels or unique jacquard/printed fabrics. They are designed to make a statement and stand out. 2. Quality and Material Value for Price: Customers report that the quality is generally better than expected for the affordable price point. The material is typically a polyester/viscose blend, which is soft, smooth, and breathable enough for an evening event. Construction: The suits are considered sturdy and well-put-together for occasional use. 3. Key Considerations (Sizing and Fit) Sizing Inconsistencies: This is the most critical point of feedback. Sizing can run small or be inconsistent with typical US sizing (sometimes aligning closer to Asian sizing charts). Recommendation: It is highly recommended to refer closely to the brand's specific size chart using chest, waist, and height measurements, or even consider ordering a size up, as tailoring smaller is easier than letting out a too-small garment. Pants: The pants often come with a flat front and a slim-fit cut. They typically require hemming or minor alterations for a perfect length and fit, which is common for ready-to-wear suits.

Great Fit and Perfect for Formal Events
Color: Black, Size: 30
I was really impressed with this MOGU slim-fit tuxedo. The jacket and pants fit surprisingly well right out of the box, and the material looks sharp without feeling cheap. It’s comfortable to wear and has a clean, modern look that works great for weddings or formal events. For the price, it’s an excellent suit set that delivers both style and value.
