What Passiflora tarminiana is
Passiflora tarminiana is a vigorous climber that moves upward by grasping supports with small, curled tendrils. It is widely known as the banana passionflower for the pale, elongated fruits that follow its drooping, trumpet-shaped flowers.
You will need a sturdy trellis or fence to accommodate its rapid growth. In a high-humidity environment, the vine fills a space quickly and creates a dense wall of lobed, fuzzy leaves.
