Stunning rose-pink to red pendulous flowers are followed by long ovoid yellow fruit, considered by some to be the best flavoured of all the passionfruit species. Because the pendulous stem supporting the flower is so long, this species is best grown on a wire frame over a pergola or arch so the flowers can be seen hanging freely in mid air. This plant will also grow well under shade cloth by attaching itself to the cloth with the tendrils. The leaves will tend to press flat up to the cloth and the flowers and fruit will hang like mobiles. Yellow fruit ovoid in shape.
Fruit contains a very delicately flavoured pulp.
Plant in a sunny place with excellent drainage and plenty of organic matter. Young plants have very narrow leaflets in their juvenile stage which mature into broader three lobed leaves as the plants mature. Once this foliage is developed the plant will settle down to flower and fruit. Passionfruit are heavy feeders so during the growing season apply a high nitrogen based NPK fertiliser, such as citrus feed. Apply approximately 100 grams per square metre three times during the growing season.
