Interested in hardy passionfruit but want to grow from seed and not plants?  We offer the EXACT SAME GENETICS of our Hardy Passionfruit plants (Passiflora incarnata), now as seeds. These are the same seeds we use to start our plants.  Our seeds are untreated, cold-stratified and require no special treatments (ready to GROW!).

We have seen consistent results with our obviously superior strain of passionfruit.  As we've trialed our seedlings we have seen a high number of the vines produce truly outstanding fruit, with more and delicious pulp, larger fruits, and heavy production.  The average weight is around 50g per fruit, which is a good size. 
One vine typically produces about 15-20 fruits per season, ripening from September-November.    Planting instructions are here:  https://peacefulheritage.com/pages/planting-instructions


Passionfruit vines, being hardy natives, are highly resistant to insects or disease, and our special strain is quite productive of delicious fruits. The vines grow vigorously and will soon rapidly climb and create a stunning ornamental cover for arbors, fences, decks, etc, making a wonderful natural screen and shade. The flowers begin to come on around July-August and are just stunning. 

Plants your vines about 3-4 feet apart early in the season, right after all danger of frost. Very winter hardy once established. By mid autumn the upper vine portion dies back to the ground. The following spring  it will resprout from the roots, vine out, flower and fruit again, thus it is a PERENNIAL. In Zones 9-10 may become a permanent woody vine. Will flower and fruit usually the same year of planting if planted in spring. These seedlings come from superior fruiting vines of excellent quality, size and flavor and represent much better than average genetics. These are Passiflora incarnata. See photos.
