PASSIFLORA quadrangularis - Giant Granadilla 50 seed
Family: Passifloraceae
Characteristics: Evergreen vine to 45 m
Seed per packet: 6
Also known as "Giant granadilla" Passiflora Quadrangular is a big passion vine native to tropical America with the biggest fruits of the Passiflora genus.
Large leaves to 25 cm (10”) long and big colourful showy fragrant flowers up to 12 cm (5”) wide. Large heavy fruits up to 30 cm (12”) long that turns yellow when fully ripe. The unripe fruit when green can be boiled and used as a vegetable.
An ornamental tropical vine that in tropical regions can reach 45 metres long although in cooler regions or in containers it is not so vigorous.
Thrives in warm humid tropics, but dislikes flooding. Suitable in most temperate climates. Protect from freezing temperatures.
Passionfruit is a warm-season crop, and you can sow its seeds directly in the garden or in containers from late autumn to the end of spring.
The ideal depth for sowing is 8mm, and you should keep the soil moist but not too wet or dry. It usually takes around 21-70 days for the seeds to germinate. You can speed up the process by soaking them in warm water for 24 hours before planting.
Place the seeds in a container with warm water (around 25°C) and let them soak for 24 hours before sowing them 6 mm deep.
Remember to water with a fine mist spray to avoid disturbing the seed. After sowing, please keep them in a warm, shaded or semi-shaded position. Keep the growing mix warm and moist without letting it become waterlogged.
Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
