Passiflora pallens

Pineland Passionvine is a rare, state-endangered perennial climbing vine endemic to Florida. This delicate species features small, pale yellow-green flowers with white coronas that are much less conspicuous than those of other passion vines. It thrives in mesic to wet tropical woodlands, preferring sunny openings and woodland margins with well-drained soils. As a host plant for several butterfly species, including the Gulf Fritillary, it serves an important ecological role despite its rarity. This vine requires full sun to filtered light and regular water, making it suitable for specialized native plant gardens and restoration projects in zones 10-11.
