It is generaly not advised to overwinter P. sanguinolenta in locations where temperatures drop below 40-45°F. (4-7°C) It thus can be reliably grown in USDA zones 10b and warmer. However, it has been reported to survive brief frosts down to about 25-30°F (-1°C to -3.5°C). So passionate passionflower growers could try it in USDA zones 10a and even 9b.

Flowers are relatively small, being about 2 in (5 cm) wide, pink to red. It is a free-flowering vine that will bloom from mid-spring to late-fall in mild and warm climates.
The fruit is a dark-purple berry when ripe. It is about 1-1.2 in (2.5-3 cm) long.
