Anyone growing Aphrodite’s Purple Nightie passion vine?

[PlainJane]

I’m looking for something as a butterfly host plant that’s not too rampant or invasive. I’m in N. Florida so deep freezes are not an issue.
If anyone has experience growing this specific Passion flower I’d love to hear!

I looked up the variety and it says it grows from 8-12+ feet. If I were betting money I'm guessing you would be on the plus side of 12 ft. Like way on the plus side of 12 ft.

Be careful to tempt fate. Record cold can happen, even in N. Florida.

After the February freeze in Texas I was sure my passion vines were done for. But eventually they came back from the ground here, there, and everywhere. It grows over the neighbor's fence and blooms for him so he doesn't seem to mind.

They are blooming and are loaded with buds.

[mention]SpookyShoe[/mention], remind me again which ones you have?

I have Passiflora "Inspiration" and a red variety that was labeled simply "Red Passion Vine."
