'PinkPop' Cold-Hardy Passionfruit (Maypop)

PinkPop(TM) is a cold-hardy, edible passionfruit vine with unique pink flowers instead of the common lavender-purple.

Cold hardy to Zone 5 (-28ºC), this perennial vine produces intricate, fragrant flowers in summer and egg-sized, edible yellow passionfruit in late summer to early fall. 

The aromatic pulp is sweet-tart and perfect for fresh eating, drinks, or preserves, while the flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

PinkPop(TM) offers the same toughness and productivity as standard cold-hardy passionfruit, but with added uniqueness.

Though self-fertile, they will produce better with cross-pollination from another variety of cold-hardy passionfruit, or a seed-grown cold-hardy passionfruit.
