Has anyone grown this vine before? I got it as a gift. Is it hardy to zone 6a? Hows the fruit from this plant? How to germinate? Thank you in advance

Here in Florida it grows wild and constantly pulling it down off the fences.  The flowers are gorgeous and I like the fruit quite a lot.  

It grows like a weed for me. It was originally planted against a shed but has since been taken out, at least so I thought. Now every year it comes up about 30 feet away against my wood shed and by the end of summer the whole south side is covered by the vines. It comes up late in Spring and is the last thing to get frosted in the Fall. The flowers are nice and it gets seed pods about the size of an egg. It also pops up about 40 to 50 feet into my neighbors property but they just mow it over.

Any advice on germanating it? I heard it is very challenging.

I have it growing every where in my front yard. Only grow it if you have more than an acre because it will spread. Grow it in a container. It makes pretty flowers and forms delicious fruit if fully matures.

Must be in well drained soil. I have tried it several times in clay and it just won't work. I have seen it in Florida growing on banks of very loose, sandy soil.

Passionflower is very common around here. It grows in pastures and fields that have not been mowed regularly. Seeds shouldn't be hard to germinate, but you might have better germination if you lightly scuff the seed with fine grit sandpaper to weaken the seed coat. Very pretty flowers, tasty fruit, and the larval host for gulf fritillary butterflies.

I heard it need two plants(different clones) to set fruit. can someone confirm this?
I'm just having one plant which isn't a good grower and no flower till yet.

I take the seeds and scoop them out of the pod. In the fall the seeds are fleshy almost a jelly like substance cover them. Put them Ina kitchen strainer and rub the seeds under running water to remove the pulp. I then spread the seeds on newspaper to dry a few days. If chaff is left on the seeds, they may
be rubbed together again. Then I put the seeds in a clear glass jar with hot water. The viable seeds will sink to the bottom quickly. Stir the mix so any remaining good seeds will separate from the chaff. Pour off the top chaff and bad seeds. Let the seeds stay in the water about
30 min to soften the hard outer coat. The seeds may then be dried again on a sheet of paper and placed in a letter envelope in
the refrigerator. Germintion should be 30 days or less. It is the state wild flower of Tennessee. I am trying a last years in ground plant in
A hanging basket this Spring. It has been too cool to put out much growth. I have some untreated seeds for postage.

I have the seeds soaking in water right now, i will rub the skins off, and plant them soil and hope for the best. If I'm looking to buy some it, it would have to be shoots. I have 20 seeds and if one germinates ill have a acre full, My plan is to grow them along a fence.

One person reports soaking his in ethanol to help them germinate.  He said there's a germination inhibitor that's alcohol soluable and soaking it in alcohol mimics what would happen when the pulp ferments.  Some people report seeds taking up to a year to germinate.
