I consider the plant a hardy perennial in zone 4, re-emerging each year. Usually comes up late, a month after other plants are growing. Is an invasive spreader. Tolerant of wide range of soil and moisture conditions. Fruit is edible & used comercially as "Passion Fruit" juice, harvest when green has faded.
