PASSIFLORA FOETIDA
Love-in-a-mist, Wild Water Lemon
This vigorous delicate vine from Brazil has a tendency to overgrow. Its name
derives from the fine net of green enclosing the flowers. It flowers heavily and
fruits without hand pollination. The fruits are kumquat sized with a thin,
scarlet red shell surrounding a blush-white pulp, mildly sweet, delicately
flavored. The leaves have a strong scent when touched. Propagated by seed or
cutting.
