Passiflora incarnata: - isn't that the same as Maypop? They are s'posed to be the most cold hardy passie, only to zone 5 but only in mild winters & heavily mulched.
I ordered a seedling one year - 6 " high & planted it inground in spring & it grew & made some beautiful flowers but not long enough season for fruits. It died over winter. S'posed to be hardy in zone 5 & I mulched it but it died.
