Granadilla Passionfruit

This ripper passionfruit is a vigorous evergreen climber from the Amazon. It's got beautiful, showy flowers and great tasting edible fruit. Huge, fragrant flowers with pleasant smell and its an extra  sweet fruit. Get a passion for it!

Shade or full sun: Full sun to part shade (Needs sun to flower well)

Minimum pot year 5: 40L pot (Great for patio growing)

It’s called ‘winged-stem’ because the stems have four little wings.

The flowers are amazing, deep red with stripes of purple and white. They come out in late summer and autumn. You'll need a different Passiflora nearby for good fruiting, as they like a mate for pollination. Keep it protected from hard frost, give it a good drink in summer, and watch it grow fast! 

Interesting Notes:

The local name for it in some parts is "red star" because of the flower. The fruit is yellow to orange, a fair size, and prized for its sweet flavour.

Get stuck into growing something exotic and beautiful.
