Passiflora quadrangularis - Giant Granadilla

From this Giant Granadilla (Passiflora quadrangularis) you may expect spectacular flowers as well as huge fruits that gave this plant its name. The approximately 10cm large flowers are dark-red with rays in white-violet stripes- a striking combination. If in a greenhouse the green pistils in the flower’s center are pollinated by bees or bumblebees, fruits the size of a mango will appear. They contain a lot of aromatic pulp rich in vitamins and ripen until autumn. Characteristic of all evergreen or semi- evergreen Passiflora (depending on winter temperature) are the quadrangular, strong stems that requiere a larger mesh size for trellis than other more delicate Passiflora.
