Giant Granadilla Passion Fruit

You will get a healthy Giant Granadilla Passion fruit starter plant.

Giant Granadilla is the largest of all Passion Fruit. It has it origins in South America with several centuries of history. The plant is a vigorous vine that could climb over 25 ft. long and boast a beautiful flower that grow 4-5 inches. The fruit can get 8-12 inches long with a white to yellowish inside. The fruit is mildly sweet and acidic.

Most all edible plants grow well in Full Sun, a little shade won’t hurt. For starter plants, I recommend growing in a 4 inch to 1-gallon pot to allow your plants to get a little bigger then re-pot or plant. Passion Fruit Plants can be planted in most healthy soils with normal pH range 6.0-8.

Passion fruit is typically grown in USDA hardiness zones 10 through 12. It grows best in temperatures ranging between 68 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit.

Indoors vs. Outdoors
If you are growing passion fruit in a region where the species is winter hardy, you can cultivate the vine outdoors year-round. Passion fruit vines usually flower throughout the year except in the winter months, when the days are shorter. Use a trellis, arch, fence or other structure to support the vines. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum recommends layering mulch around the base to protect the roots if temperatures fall below 30 degrees.

If this plant is not hardy where you live – let's say you are trying to grow passion fruit in zone 7 – you are better off cultivating the plant in a container that can be moved indoors before the first frost of the fall season. As when growing passion fruit outdoors, you'll need to provide support for the vines. A passion fruit vine can thrive as a houseplant provided that it receives enough sun. A sunroom is ideal for growing passion fruit vines indoors, and placing the vines along a sunny window can also work.
