SUMMARY: Yellow Passionflower (Passiflora lutea) is a delicate, smaller-flowered vine compared to its purple relative, Passiflora incarnata, yet it adds elegant beauty to landscapes. Its flowers, arranged along the vine’s long petioles, appear to float and feature dramatic structures inspired by Christian symbolism. Both species are native to the southeastern U.S. and support butterflies like the Gulf Fritillary and Variegated Fritillary.
