You can start the seeds inside and take the plant out during the summer but it needs to come inside over the winter. If you start a passie now, depending on the variety you might have flowers next summer. Some passiflora seeds take a very long time to germinate, up to a year. Do you know what variety you want to grow? You might be better off either finding someone who has a cutting or buying a plant from a nursery. Zone 9 Tropicals sells beautiful blooming size plants for very reasonable prices. There are a number of other reliable nurseries but I haven't found one that has plants the size of Zone 9's.
