Native to South America, Passiflora coccinea (Red Passion Flower) is a striking, evergreen, tendril-climbing vine prized for its dazzling scarlet-red blooms, 3–4 inches across (7–10 cm), crowned with eye-catching bands of white, purple, and yellow. These showy flowers are followed by egg-shaped passion fruits, about 2 inches wide (5 cm), which ripen from green and mottled to golden yellow. Like their cousin Passiflora edulis, the fruits are edible and flavorful. The lush backdrop of single, oblong, medium-green leaves enhances the plant’s tropical appeal and makes every bloom stand out.
This passion flower belongs to the Passifloraceae family, famed not just for its edible fruit but also for its intricate passion flower. Among these botanical floral beauties are Passiflora alata, P. incarnata, P. racemosa, P. lutea, and the ravishing P. caerulea.
