Passion Fruit Plant
Passion fruit is a vine species of passion flower that is native to Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and northern Argentina. It is cultivated commercially in warmer, frost-free areas for its fruit. The fruit is both eaten and juiced; passion fruit juice is often added to other fruit juices to enhance aroma.
Variety:
- Possum Purple (Zones 9-11)
Care Instructions
Plant your passion fruit in a location with full sun and in soil that is well-draining, loamy, and fertile. You may need to give extra water when the plants are fruiting and less during fall and winter. However, be careful not to overwater, as this can cause root issues. Since these plants are climbers, give them something to climb on, whether it’s a trellis, arch, fence, or pergola.
