I have lot's of passionfruit growing in my garden. Im not sure of veriety but it is common purple one ,the fruit fades to yellow and is hardy.If anyone want's any let me know.jo
Tell me about Passion fruit please. Is it really a fruit for eating or just the pretty purple flower with the Cross on it. Fearfully ignorant on this one!
If it is edible I am interested in the seed, if it is a flower, I expect Mrs Phreddy would like it.
Im not sure if the one ive got is edible or not i just grow it as it look's great.I didn't realise how easy it was to grow from seed. Im a lazy gardener and couldn't be bothered to collect all the fallen fruit and figured they would feed the garden anyway so left them and now have load's of baby passionfruit's coming up .
The usual one grown in this country is passiflora caerulea which just flowers usually (but in a good year you can get fruits to set and ripen). If you want the fruits you realy need p edule. Some specialist growers offer lots of different flowering ones, red raggy looking flowers etc. They're a lovely flowers but can get a bit rampant (if they're enjoying life!)
I get lot's of fruit on mine but i don't like passionfruit's and am not sure if they are ok.would love to get a different colour though, i bought a white one once but it turned out to be the same as what i already had very dissapionting.
