Seed Type: Dried Red Panama Passionfruit

Origin: Tropical South America.

Growth Habit: Vigorous evergreen climbing vine reaching 5–10 metres with support. Perfect for trellises, pergolas, fences and arbours.

Climate: Thrives in warm, frost-free or subtropical climates. Can tolerate light frosts once established but grows best in warm, sheltered positions with plenty of sunlight.

Germination: Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing 5–10 mm deep in a free-draining seed-raising mix. Keep warm (20–28°C) and consistently moist. Germination typically takes 2–8 weeks, although some seeds may take longer.

Climate: Red Panama passionfruit grows well in the warmer North Island. In the South Island, grow it against a sunny north-facing wall or in a greenhouse for the best results.

Fruit: Produces large, round to oval red-purple fruit with juicy orange pulp. The flavour is exceptionally sweet, rich and aromatic, making it ideal for eating fresh, desserts, drinks and juices.

Flowers: Large, striking white and purple passionflowers that attract bees and other beneficial pollinators.

Fruiting: Typically begins producing fruit within 1–3 years from seed under good growing conditions.

Care: Prefers full sun, fertile free-draining soil, regular watering and a sturdy climbing structure. Feed regularly during the growing season to encourage vigorous growth and heavy crops.
