Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This variety of Passiflora Edulis blooms from spring to late fall and in some locations into the winter. AAAA+ juice variety. Hawaiian Passiflora production farmers grow this variety in one gallon containers as to trigger a stress gene in the plant which fools the plant into producing more fruit/seeds thinking its in danger. The vines prefer full sun. Hawaiian Lilioki passiflora edulis produces 2 1/2" perfectly round fruit that turns yellow when ripe. The taste is extreemly overwhelming to the sences. Hawaiian Lilioki is the main ingredient used in Hawian punch. Anyone that has never tasted passionfruit imagine Hawian punch x100. Passiflora can be made into a beverage or eaten fresh.

This is a very easy and strong-growing, perennial vine with beautiful glossy leaves, exotic white and purple flowers, which are followed by large yellow, rounded fruit, about the size of tangerines, with a nice flavor.
