HOW TO GROW PASSIONFLOWER SEEDS

HOW TO CARE PASSIONFLOWER AFTER GERMINATION

It is essential to water Passionflower plants well throughout the summer months to encourage profound root growth. Maintain semi-dormant soil during the winter months. Must be planted in the well-draining soil mix, equal parts gravel and soil. Plant passionflowers in a warm and sheltered spot with full sun to partial shade, and well-drained soil. Maintain a neat look by cutting back after flowering, or in spring, remove damaged growth. Winter protection is necessary for most varieties. Passionflowers can be grown in pots, but you'll have to feed and water them more often, and they won't grow as vigorously as those grown in the ground.

PASSIONFLOWER & ITS BENEFITS

Older plants can withstand frosts down to -20 degrees. The plant is perennial. Waterlogging should be avoided with the passionflower since it needs a lot of sunlight and water. The fruits are 5-9 cm. long and edible. Planting seeds indoors can be done all year round.
