Giant Granadilla Passiflora Quadrangularis

There are dozens of species of passion flower grown, but one that always gets a lot of attention is the Giant Granadilla, Passiflora quadrangularis. This is a fast growing vine which can grow over 50ft in a single season. The stems are quadrangular in shape. The beautiful red and purple flowers make it a very popular ornamental and the large, yellowish-green fruits contain many seeds with somewhat acidic arils that are used for juice and ice cream. Giant Granadilla loves the warm humid tropics, but will not stand flooding. Protect from freezing temperatures. Fruit forms best after self-pollination.
