Gowing from seed was easy Stan, it was waiting for the flowers and finding most were basic caerulea colours. I have a few giant granadilla, Passiflora quadrangularis, on the go at the moment grown from a few seeds from a fruit bought from the supermarket. (My grandaughter ate the rest). I don't think for a minute they'll surive winter here but I'm going to give it a go.

There is a new vid,Thorny on YouTube by "GreenGardenGuy" of growing that Giant Passion flower in Hawaii. Just one makes a near pitcher of refreshing drink.
They make HUGE fruits. All from a Passion Flower.
I might put that on my list of exotic edibles to try. Room,is my limiter.

I've just watched that video and I don't remember my fruit being that big. That was more of a melon than passion fruit. Enormous.If mine was misnamed I wonder what am I going to get? The fruit was quite large, bigger than the normal passion fruit, purple/nearly black. I might go to the supermarket to see if I can find one again.
