PASSION FRUIT VINES

**Passion Fruit Vine (1) Passiflora spp. or Passiflora edulis
The passion fruit vine produces very exotic blooms year round and its fruit is used as an important flavoring in local juices. I’ve read that the variety grown commercially for the best juice is Passiflora edulis var. flavacarpa.
From: Brazil
Hint: Recently someone told me that if you clip a passion fruit vine flower and quickly put it in ice water it will last all day.
Planting and Care: This is a vine so it is not happy when it is not in climbing mode. Unfortunately, that makes it very difficult to retrieve its fruit. To be at its best the plant prefers to grow in the sun with regular rainfall or routine watering and a generous dose of fertilizer now and then, but it will survive with just about nothing making it another of my personal favorites.
