Passiflora COCCINEA - good butterfly host plant

Mary Leek

Will the butterfly cats eat the leaves of this plant? Will the butterflies use all varieties of passiflora vines as a host plant? This one is quite pretty but my growing space is limited so need to plant only those passionflowers that the butterflies will use as a host plant.

I'm attempting to germinate some Maypop seeds, too, as they will be winter hardy for me but have read seed germination is hit and miss with passi's. Thought I might also purchase a vine and liked the bloom on this one.
