Passiflora adenopoda is a fun and easy plant to grow, the plant is a vine that will quickly grow into support by tendrils from the stem. When the plant is about 2m long it will start to profusely produce lots of flowers, with have a nice smell and attract lots of pollinators!
Then fruits will appear, little green fruits the size of a plum, filled with seeds covered in a mucilage of bright orange color (DO NOT EAT GREEN, it is poisonous). When mature, the fruits will become purple and are really sweet in taste, great for drinks of fresh fruit.
Passiflora adenopoda is a tropical vine plant. This variety, native from Central America grows happily more than 4m but starts making flowers at just 2m from the base. These seeds come from Costa Rica, where it sometimes grows among people's gardens. They love full sun, but may have a little shade, which makes them have fewer flowers, it has three to five-lobed leaves of a light green color. The plant likes high soil humidity.
This plant is a host plant for Heliconius charithonia butterfly, they lay the eggs on the leaves for their caterpillars to eat.
Culture: sow the seeds 1 in. deep, on a group of 1 to 3 seeds on individual pots. Loose, well-drained soil is very important for good germination, but the plants won’t mind growing even on clay soils, a soil pH of 5–6 will give the best results. Plant a month after the last frost once the soil has warmed up, or in tropical regions, any time of the year. It may be grown outdoors in zones (USA 8-11) or indoors in a greenhouse. The plant may make flowers after some 4 months of growth depending on the conditions and fruits will develop just 1 month later. Harvest when fully yellow fruits are present to have the best sweetness.
