RARE Giant Yellow Brazilian Passionfruit Seeds - Heirloom Vegetable & Fruit Garden Seeds
Passiflora edulis flavicarpa
Listing is for 1 packet of 15 seeds

The large-fruited passion fruit cultivar originates from Brazil, and produces nearly one-pound fruits yielding almost half a cup of juice each. Successful cultivation requires two separate seed-grown plants and hand pollination by crossing the pollen from two seperate plants OR cross pollination with the help of bees. Therefore, sow more than 1 seed and transplant them close together (4-10FT apart). This variety is vigorous and needs a large trellis to grow up on. I have seen mature vines reaching the top of telephone poles. Passion fruit is very fast to begin fruiting from seed. Expect to harvest within one year of transplanting. This sour and intense fruit is perfect for making sweet drinks and ice cream. Passion fruit is a tropical plant that does not like the cold. It will be killed by hard freezes or snow. Best to grow in cones 9 and up that have very mild winters. FYI - passion fruit is a butterfly host plant for Gulf fritillary and Zebra Longwing butterflies. Please do not spray passion fruit vines with anything. These caterpillars will munch on the leaves but its not enough damage to negativly impact passion fruit vines.

PLANTING
Germination: 5-10 days

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/2-1 inch deep 

Sowing: Sow seeds in solo cups, about 8 weeks before your last spring frost date. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing. Use a heat mat to keep the soil warm and humidity domes to help speed up germination. Can take 2-4 weeks to germinate. Transplant outside once all danger of frost has passed. 

Ideal growing conditions: Can grow fine in native Florida sandy soil but does exceptionally well in soil rich with composted organic matter. Likes full sun or partial shade. Fertilize with some organic granular fruit or citrus fertilizer a few times to help it grow fast. Once the plant is mature, it doesnt need fertilizer. Likes decent amounts of water, but is drought tolerant once established. Does not like waterlogged soil as this can cause root rot. 

Days to maturity: Usually starts fruiting within a year if the vines are big/mature enough
