Notes

'Panama Red' purple granadilla (Passiflora edulis 'Panama Red') is a vine for the food garden, grown for sweet, tangy passionfruit. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun. Its fragrant purple and white flowers open from early to late summer. Butterflies use it as a larval host plant, and it grows fast enough to keep ahead of the munching caterpillars.

Pairs well with Pinot Noir grape, Pomegranate, and Loquat.
