Passiflora edulis yellow

Family: Passifloraceae

Common names: Guavadilla

Its fruit has bright yellow skin and has a round to oval-like shape.  Guavadilla plants have deep roots that are invasive so should not be planted need pavings or buildings. Also known as the Yellow passion flower.  It is often grown into an ornamental vine suitable for all-size gardens or used for indoor or container planting.

Sowing instructions: Stored seed should be soaked for 24 hours in warm water and germination time can be reduced if the seed is then mixed with the juice of a fresh passion fruit (of any species). Even so, it can take 12 months for stored seed to germinate. Place the seed tray in a shady position, maintaining a temperature around 19 – 24°c. Prick the seedlings out into individual containers as soon as they are large enough to handle and plant out when large enough.
