Giant Granadilla belongs to the passion fruit species and is the largest fruit in this group. It is named after the square stem of the plant, which is a fast growing vine.
Many people plant passion flower intentionally, but it can also be an invasive plant, especially wild varieties. If you need to eliminate or control vines, first try pulling out new growth. If you want to get rid of all of the vines, you'll need to dig out the roots using a shovel.
Passion fruit vines live anywhere from three to 10 years, depending upon the growing area and whether any pests or diseases damage the plant.
Flowers and fruit grow simultaneously, with blooms from spring through late fall, and fruit produced from May through August, in most regions. This vine offers a wide range of color variations in its blooms, from pale lavender and blue to flame red and orange, the latter of which can be seen in Passiflora 'Sunburst.. . . . .364011235232!]0000000000000009783314145357!]
