Passion Fruit Purple Granadilla Passiflora edulis 30 Seeds

Passiflora edulis, commonly called purple passion fruit, is a shallow-rooted, tendril-climbing, evergreen vine that typically grows to 10-15?ˉ long and to 3-5?ˉ wide and produces extremely showy bowl-shaped fragrant purple-white passionflowers (each to 3?± wide) followed by edible, ovoid, purple passion fruits (to 2" across). Purple passion fruit is native to Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina, but is now grown in tropical and subtropical climates throughout the world. This vine clings to supports by coiled tendrils. Individual flowers bloom for one day. Each flower has 5 greenish-white sepals, 5 white petals and a decorative corona of white filaments which are showy purple at the bases. In Florida, the purple-white flowers begin blooming in early spring with the passion fruits typically ripening about 80 days after flowering occurs (from late May to July). Each fruit has a rough rind with as many as 250 tiny seeds inside, each seed being surrounded by an orange sac containing juice.
