Caerulea (blue and white varieties), vitifolia (red), Inspiration (purple hybrid type) are all pretty hardy once established. Vitifolia won't come back from freezes, but the other two will regrow from the roots. Edulis, the tropical commercial species, is a good choice for sheltered or frost-free areas. Incarnata is the native "maypop" and has a tasty fruit, but can go nuts under favorable conditions and might be too much for some to handle. I loves me some passiflora.
