I bought a Kumquat tree from you and it arrived within a few days and was in excellent condition. The packing around it ensured it wasn't damaged. Thankyou

Description

A climbing plant that will self cling to almost any support. Early Summer brings a flush of most attractive flowers which are followed by large passion fruits. Allow one or two trails to grow in a greenhouse of conservatory for early fruit; unless you have a large glasshouse avoid growing completely under glass as the plant would 'swamp it'!

These plants produce a purply coloured fruit.

The Passion Fruit originates from South America where the flowers are famous for being used to illustrate the Passion of Christ by missionaries.

Recognised to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.

  • Prefers well drained and fairly nutrient-rich soil.
  • Likes a sunny position (it will not tolerate shade).
  • Winter hardy in all but the worst of Winters. In semi-harsh Winters may be killed off down to the ground, to re-grow from the roots. Sadly a very hard and prolonged Winter will kill this off.
  • Can be grown in a glass house or poly-tunnel.
  • Climber (requires support).
  • Fastgrowing.
  • Reaches 15 feet(5 metres) if allowed to!
  • Flowers from June to August.
  • In Spring give the plant a good mulch of compost and feed during the summer with a tomato feed or similar.
  • Fruits are ripe when they fall from the plant.
