Common Names: Passion Fruit, Granadilla, Purple Granadilla, Yellow Passion Fruit
Overview : The white sepals and petals are almost completely covered with its undulating corona. The center of the corona is a very dark purple. This passiflora is often used as understock and can tolerate coolness better than most others. It produces edible yellow skinned fruits.
Adaptation:
The purple passion fruit is subtropical and prefers a frost-free climate. However, there are cultivars that can take temperatures into the upper 20's (°F) without serious damage. The plant is widely grown in California as far north as San Jose, the Monterey Bay Area and the San Franciso Bay Area. The vines may lose some of their leaves in cool winters. The roots often resprout even if the top is killed. The plant does not grow well in intense summer heat. The yellow passion fruit is tropical or near-tropical and is much more intolerant of frost. Both forms need protection from the wind. Generally, annual rainfall should be at least 35 inches. Passion fruit vines make good container specimens but require maintenance. They perform well indoors.
Plant at 1/2" depth using well draining soil mixture. Keep warm, lightly moist and in filtered sunlight with high humidity.
