The general consensus I've read for the Granadilla's (passiflora ligularis and passiflora quadrangularis) is that they are not self-fertile, though it can vary down to the specimen depending on genetics/hybridization. I would recommend a pollinator companion.

Do you know what other species can pollinate ligularis? The other species I have are tripartita, edulis, manicata, caerulea and incarnata. I'm trying to limit the number of plants since I'm in Zone 5 and have to overwinter them indoors.
