Purple Passion Fruit Seeds - Passion Fruit, 25 seeds

Quantity: 25 Seeds / pack

Purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a vigorous tropical vine with intricate purple-and-white flowers and round, purple-skinned fruits filled with fragrant, tangy pulp. It climbs by tendrils and needs a sturdy trellis, fence, or arbor. In warm climates, vines can fruit within a year or two from seed.

Growing Instructions

• When to Plant: Sow in spring after frost danger, or start indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost.
• Soil: Use a fertile, well-draining mix; enrich beds with compost before planting.
• Sunlight: Full sun for the best flowering and fruit set.
• Watering: Water regularly so soil stays evenly moist; mulch to hold moisture.
• Spacing: Give each vine a strong trellis and several feet of space to climb.
• Germination: Soak seeds in warm water for 24–48 hours (light scarification with fine sandpaper helps), then sow 1/4 inch deep at 75–85°F (24–29°C). Germination is slow and uneven, typically 2–8 weeks.
• Harvest: Fruits are ripe when the rind turns deep purple and the fruit feels heavy; ripe fruits often fall from the vine.
• Tips: Install support before vines begin climbing. Protect from frost — in cold climates, grow in a large container and overwinter indoors.
