Passiflora Incense Live Plant | 5-9" Tall | Highly Fragrant Royal Purple Passion Flower Vine

What You Will Receive: You will receive one (1) vigorous Passiflora 'Incense' starter plant, currently standing 5-9 inches tall. Shipped ready to plant, this well-rooted starter is the perfect size to establish quickly in your garden or container without the transplant shock of larger, root-bound plants.

The Most Fragrant Passion Flower: True to its name, the 'Incense' variety offers a sensory experience unlike any other vine. It produces large, 4-5 inch royal purple flowers that release a captivating, sweet perfume often compared to sweet peas or gardenias, turning your garden into an aromatic sanctuary.

Unmatched Growing Versatility: Whether you want to cover a backyard fence in Zones 6-9 or create a stunning tropical focal point on a city balcony, this plant adapts. It thrives in the ground as a hardy perennial or in large pots for patio styling, making it perfect for both expansive landscapes and compact urban spaces.

A Pollinator Super-Magnet: Transform your outdoor space into a fluttering haven. The intricate violet filaments and nectar-rich center act as a beacon for butterflies (specifically the Gulf Fritillary) and bumblebees, supporting local biodiversity while adding dynamic movement to your garden.

Vigorous & Resilient Growth: Enjoy the look of a delicate tropical exotic with the toughness of a hybrid. 'Incense' is a cross between the hardy native Maypop and a tropical variety, resulting in a fast-growing, deer-resistant vine that tolerates heat and bounces back from winter dormancy with renewed energy.

Care Instructions: Upon arrival, unwrap gently and hydrate the roots immediately. Plant in well-draining soil in a location receiving 6+ hours of full sun. Install a trellis, arbor, or fence immediately for the tendrils to grab. Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy during the first season to establish the root system.

Safe Arrival Guarantee: We ship using eco-friendly, secure packaging designed to protect the root system during transit. While the plant may drop a few leaves due to shipping stress, we guarantee it arrives with healthy, viable roots ready to grow. If you have any issues upon opening, contact us immediately.

Turn Your Garden into a Fragrant Tropical Escape

Imagine walking into your garden and being greeted not just by color, but by an intoxicating, sweet perfume. The Passiflora 'Incense' is not your average garden vine. Named for its incredible scent, this stunning hybrid combines the exotic, alien beauty of the Passion Flower with a floral fragrance reminiscent of sweet peas and gardenias. It is the ultimate sensory upgrade for any outdoor space.

Royal Purple Blooms & Rapid Growth The 'Incense' variety is a showstopper. It produces waves of large, 4-5 inch flowers featuring deep violet petals and ruffly, majestic purple filaments. It is a vigorous climber, capable of covering bare fences, arbors, or trellises in a sea of green foliage and purple blooms within a single season. Unlike other tropicals that fade quickly, 'Incense' rewards you with a long blooming season from mid-summer well into autumn.

Hardy, Adaptable, and Beginner-Friendly While it looks like it belongs in a rainforest, this plant is surprisingly tough. Rated for USDA Zones 6-9, it is root-hardy, meaning it may die back to the ground in freezing winters (Zones 6-7) only to shoot back up from the roots in spring, stronger than before. For those in cooler climates, it makes an exceptional container plant that can be moved indoors or treated as a glorious annual.

Your Personal Butterfly Sanctuary Gardening is about life. By planting 'Incense,' you are inviting nature back into your yard. It is a known host plant for Fritillary butterflies and a favorite stop for honeybees. You aren't just buying a plant; you are cultivating a thriving ecosystem right outside your window.
