The ones I find in the wild and grow don't like the cold AT ALL. The green dies back to the root and they dont start sprouting back until april-may. The roots are almost a rhizome like thick tubers. Not a 100% certain but I'm pretty sure they are native. I think the indian's thought eating the fruit gave them wood. But then again it seems like the indians thought most everything was an aphrodisiac.

Passion flower actually gets its name from Christianity.
ETA i don’t think the native American name is known. I guess each tribe would have their own name for it in their particular language.
quote:
The genus Passiflora was named after Jesuit priests found the first specimen in South America. They thought the plant resembled a vision described by St. Francis of Assisi - a vine crawling up the cross where Jesus was crucified. They found religious meaning relating to Jesus' death in all the parts of the flower: 10 petals and sepals represented all the apostles except Judas and Peter, 5 stamens represented the 5 wounds, climbing tendrils represented scourges to beat Jesus, etc.
