Product Description
An Exotic Escape, Right in Your Own Backyard!
Enjoy an abundant supply of exotic passion fruit from home with the Nancy Garrison Passion Fruit Vine! Native to Paraguay and Argentina, this evergreen fruiting vine is unique in that it is cold hardy down to 25℉ and continues to grow year-round even in cooler climates, unlike most passion fruit vines.
Named after a master gardener in Santa Clara County, California, the Nancy Garrison Passion Fruit Vine is a continual bloomer during spring to midsummer, displaying gorgeous green, white, and purple flowers with large, curling petals. It is fast-growing and will grow as far as you allow it space to do so!
After taking in the Nancy Garrison’s beautiful display of blooms, you can enjoy an abundant supply of fresh, exotic passion fruit in the late summer and into fall. This vine produces egg-shaped fruit with a purple rind, orange flesh, and crunchy seeds. While the seeds are edible, the rind is not - just scoop out the pulp and seeds with a spoon to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
The Nancy Garrison Passion Fruit is delectably tart and sweet in taste, with notes of orange flavor. You’ll know the fruit is ready for picking when the skin is purple all over, and it detaches easily from the vine. Your Nancy Garrison Passion Fruit will continue to ripen off the vine.
The best part of your Nancy Garrison Passion Fruit Vine? Its versatility. It's happy planted in the ground or in a container on a sunny patio. Wherever you plant it, you'll be rewarded with stunning flowers and tasty, exotic fruit! For best results, give your Passion Fruit Vine a trellis or arbor to climb.
Don’t wait to experience the home-grown freshness and beauty of this exotic fruiting vine! Get a Nancy Garrison Passion Fruit Vine for your garden or yard today!
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location where your tree is going to get plenty of sunlight, around 6 to 8 hours per day is ideal. When you're ready to plant, ensure you have well-drained soil and dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root system.
Place the plant in the hole and backfill. After planting, be sure to give your Nancy Garrison Passion Fruit Vine a deep watering for about 5 minutes. If you're planting in a container, just select a container that's twice the width of your plant's shipped container and provide a structure for your vine to climb. We recommend a sturdy structure as this vine can be heavy once in bloom with fruit on it.
2. Watering: Be sure to give your plant a deep watering so that it can penetrate into the root system. After watering, allow the top 2 to 3 inches of the soil to dry out completely before watering
again.
3. Fertilizing: Feed your Passion Fruit Vine during the warmer spring and summer seasons with a fruit-specific fertilizer and follow label instructions.
BB Pro Tip: During or after fruiting your plant may experience yellowing leaves due to iron deficiency. Treat with an iron-rich fertilizer to replenish it.
