Passionfruit are stunning when grown across a pergola where the magnificent flowers can be shown off. The large green leaves can provide shade, and the delicious tasty fruit can be picked easily. Quickly grown over a fence, against a sheltered wall or deck.

Passionfruit offers reasonable amounts of vitamins A, B, C, protein, carbohydrates, iron & flavonoids. Fruit is juicy and tangy, excellent just to be scooped out and enjoyed fresh. Add to fruit salads, ice creams, yoghurts, pie and cake fillings, cocktails or juice.

Passionfruit prefer full sun or partial shade but are not wind-hardy, requiring protection. They like warm climates but will grow back if burned slightly by frosts. Require adequate moisture when young and fruit are maturing. A well-draining, slightly acidic soil will give the best results.
