Edible Passionfruit, Passiflora edulis

Description

This edible passionfruit is a wonderful vine to cover any fence of any garden. Germination takes 15-45 days and once the vine is stable, growth will take off tremendously. Flowers and fruit happen within the first year of the vine being in the ground. You will approximately 10 seeds in your package.

Once the fruit is big enough, pick and let it sit until it gets a bit wrinkly. I prefer to put it in the fridge to chill and then open and eat. It will be a nice sweet and sour mix with the crunch of the seeds. Yes, you can eat the seeds! Passiflora's are also a host to gulf frittilary caterpillars, but don't mind them, they like to eat too.
