Dwarf Passionvine (Passiflora lutea) is a vigorous herbaceous vine capable of reaching heights of up to 20 feet. Thriving in moist, well-drained soil, this plant showcases striking greenish-yellow to off-white flowers from summer through fall, followed by small black berries that add seasonal interest.
As a larval host for Gulf Fritillary, Julia, and Zebra Longwing butterflies, it plays an essential role in supporting pollinator populations. In addition to its flowers attracting butterflies and birds, its berries serve as a valuable food source for both birds and mammals, making it a versatile and ecological choice for gardens and naturalized areas.
