Thompson and Morgan Passionfruit Passiflora Edulis Frederick Plant Pot 9cm 2 Pack

An exceptional evergreen climber, the Passiflora edulis 'Frederick' brings a touch of the exotic to any garden or patio. Rapidly growing, this passion flower variety offers a striking display with its unusual wispy fronds and distinctive white and purple blooms – a delightful twist on the classic passion flower. As autumn arrives, the blooms give way to yellow and orange fruits, extending the plant's visual appeal.
Perfect for large patio containers, the 'Frederick' can be trained to climb obelisks or trellises, and can be brought indoors during the colder months, allowing flexibility for placement. Culinary enthusiasts will be pleased to know that its fruits are edible, ideal for creating delicious preserves and desserts. For the best fruit quality, growing under glass is recommended.
To ensure thriving growth, place in a sunny location with at least six hours of daily sunlight. Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 18 and 27 degrees Celsius during the day, and no lower than 10 degrees Celsius at night. Water regularly to maintain consistently moist soil, increasing frequency during warmer periods. Feed with a balanced fertiliser during the spring and summer growing season to encourage healthy growth and abundant fruit development. Moderate humidity levels are beneficial, especially indoors; misting the plant occasionally will help.
This Granadilla, or Passion Flower, is a tender perennial climber celebrated for its rapid growth, edible fruits, and unique white and purple flowers.
