Passiflora Edulis is a semi evergreen climber with exotic looking flowers and is the vine for the tasty edible passion fruit that flourishes during the summer months. Easy to grow, this bold looking plant produces very fragrant and unusual flowers from May through to October which have white/cream base petals and sit beneath decorative filaments.

A wonderful variety to have in any garden, it will attract birds and is suited to sunny yet sheltered garden spots, can be grown within greenhouses or patio containers and will reach a mature height of 3m.

Growing at a glance…
Plants are self pollinating and will produce egg sized passion fruit from late summer. Can be grown in conservatories or in the green house for earlier fruiting, but they need keeping an eye on as they can become rampant. Plant in any fertile well drained soil, preferably in moist soil. Suitable for planting in full sun or in partial shade.
