Blue Passion Flower Vine Seeds
The vines are shallow-rooted, and will benefit from a thick layer of
organic mulch.
The purple passion fruit makes its home from southern Brazil through
Paraguay and in parts northern Argentina. Before 1900, the purple passion
fruit was partially naturalized and flourishing in coastal areas of
Australia. Seeds of the purple passion fruit, were brought from
Australia to Hawaii and first planted in 1880. It wasn't long,
because of its fast growing nature that the passiflora vine became
popular in home gardens.25 seeds per package.

The passion vine prefers a frost-free climate. The "Blue Passion Vine"
is pretty cold hardy and salt tolerant but the plant does not grow well
in intense summer heat. The yellow passion fruit is tropical and isn't
fond of frost. The purple and yellow forms both need protection from
the wind. Passiflora vines are vigorous growers and require regular
fertilizing. Stay away from just using a 20-20-20 liquid food. This
may promote good growth but possibly too much green and not enough
flower. Use a fertilizer with a ratio more along the lines of a 2-1-3.
Care for the passion fruit vines requires full sun except during those
very hot summer days, if possible provide some partial shade. The vine
is a fast grower and can get out of hand, so if possible plant it next
to a chain link fence or on a trellis. Passion fruit vines grow in many
soil types but make sure that the plant gets excellent drainage. If you
want to keep the vines flowering almost continuously, regular water is
necessary.
