Description

The listing, Passion Flower Vine Seeds has ended.

Passion Flowers grow, you guest it, passion fruits.

This is not the red passion fruit you get in the store, but it is related and I still find them tasty. This attractive vine will grow up a fence with little work or tending and produces brilliant purple flowers in the summer. In the late summer/fall green pods appear that are fist sized and the pulp around the seeds can be nibbled on for a relaxing effect. I feed the pods to my sulcata tortoise for an extra special treat.

I will send several seeds to the winner.

Passion Flower vine is attractive on a garden trellis, fence, hanging over a wall or sprawled on a slope.

I let the seeds I am offering overwinter in their pods in a protected area outside to help them germinate better.

I had a neighbor when I lived down in Phoenix that had Passion Flower Vine growing RAMPANT all over the west side of his house. Very showy, and didn't seem to mind the heat or relatively dry conditions at all.
