Passionflower is an American plant that grows from Texas to Florida and up through the lower Midwest to Pennsylvania. The fruits may pop when stepped on, and so they are also called Maypop. The Cherokee in the Tennessee area call it Ocoee, and the Ocoee river valley is named in its honor. The vines, leaves, and flowers make good sleep and anti-anxiety medicine. These fruits are deliciously sweet and tart! I drive home from the farm and eat one or two slowly, carefully removing the pulp from around each little seed.

Passionflower was so named by Spanish missionaries as a teaching tool to explain the passion of Christ - with many of the flower parts representing elements of Jesus's last days and crucifixion (10 petals and sepals = 10 faithful apostles; 5 stamens = 5 wounds; 3 stigmas = 3 nails; corona = crown of thorns; etc).

Passionflower nectar is abundant at the center of the crimped, disc-like corona, so honeybees, carpenter bees, and fritillary butterflies squeeze under one of the five stamens, getting a good pollen rub-down on their way in. At the next flower, the pollen will be received as they brush past one of the three stigmas. Pollination!

Our original seeds came from plants that grow semi-wild (but started as one garden plant and was spread by animals), at the Deitrich's farm outside Elmer, NJ, where the Experimental Farm Network flagship farm is based. Nathan Kleinman of EFN brought us a few fruits in 2015. We planted their seeds and now we have a sprawling patch in a corner of our hoop house for medicine, pollinator support, sweet/sour snacking, and seed saving.

Also known as Maypop, Passion Flower, Passion Vine, Ocoee.

Days to maturity: perennial - flowers in second year

Seeds per pack: 20

Germination rate: Botanical Sample - this seed has not been germination tested this year. Each year, we send them to a Department of Agriculture lab, and they usually find their germination rate to be around 25%. We find that when we follow the methods below, they have a much better germination rate, approaching 100%. 

Planting / harvesting notes

Passionflower seeds are known to be difficult to germinate. Here are a few methods to try: Place seeds in a moist paper towel in the refrigerator for one month before planting into warm, well draining soil. Alternatively, try soaking in warm water for 2 days and then nicking slightly with a blade before planting. Germination can take at least one month. Another method is to plant the seeds in the fall and allow them to overwinter in freezing temperatures for germination in the spring. This is a spreading perennial, and if it likes where it has been planted, it could grow long roots underground, popping up in nearby beds in coming years. Choose its home wisely and you will be graced with bountiful vines, blooms, and fruits!

Seed keeping notes

Seeds are ripe when the fruits become soft and perhaps slightly yellowed. Either suck the pulp off the seeds, or ferment the pulp and seeds in water for a few days and decant the pulp off the seeds.

The best Magtein I have tried thus far
I take double the dose because when I double the dose it improves my ability to pay attention and I am less distracted. Yes I have ADD but no longer take Adderall for it. Being 56 years old Magtein really improves my memory and restored it to like new by ten days of use. Shockingly It woke me up from a light sleep late evening as memories rushed in and I have been taking it ever since. I have been taking it 7 months now and over time it has slowly but surely improved my short term memory so that it also is nearly the same as before. I have seen slight improvements in working memory enough to be encouraged It may become an advancement from a historical standpoint. This is my second bottle by Teraputics. I was taking 2 bottles of NOW brand per month for my memory and concentration because it is the cheapest but when Amazon ran out Teraputics is the product I decided to try next. But I like this brand better as it seems more concentrated or I should probably say more bio-available so I decided to by it and pay the extra money over NOW brand. I just wish it were cheaper. I am hoping to ask them for a deal if I buy 20 bottles in advanced as it is a must have for me. With this second purchase they included a free bottle coupon and not a buy one get one free. Right now I am very happy to get the free bottle.

Daily Intake on Label Confusing
Label was not clear regarding milligrams per pill. Title label stated 2000mgs per serving (of 4 pills), but “supplement label” states 4 pills is 144 mgs per serving as a 34% of daily value. Very confusing. Not sure which metric to go by for daily intake.
