But did you know this stunning tropical vine offers more than just delicious fruit? From the show-stopping blue passion flower to calming passion flower tea, Passiflora is a plant family full of surprises.

There are many kinds of passionfruit to explore. For classic flavor, P. edulis (purple passion fruit) is your go-to. Looking for something tropical and tart? Try the yellow passion fruit. Want something creamy and exotic? Banana passion fruit might be your match. Sweet tooth? Check out Sweet granadilla. Craving BIG flavor and fruit? Go with Giant granadilla.

But there’s more to Passiflora than fruit. The flowers themselves—especially blue passion flowers—are hypnotically beautiful. Some varieties, like Maypop, are native to the U.S. and known for their calming effects. Their leaves are often used to make passion flower tea, a popular herbal remedy for stress and sleep issues.

And the passion fruit benefits? They’re impressive. These little orbs are packed with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants that support immunity, digestion, and skin health. No wonder this plant family is a superstar!
