Passiflora edulis

Passiflora, known also as the passion flowers or passion vines, is a genus of about 500 species of flowering plants, the namesakes of the family Passifloraceae. They are mostly vines, with some being shrubs, and a few species being herbaceous. A number of species of Passiflora are cultivated outside their natural range for their beautiful flowers and delicious edible fruit. Hundreds of hybrids have been named; hybridizing is currently being done extensively for flowers, foliage and fruit. Most species have round or elongated edible fruit from 5cm to 20cm long and 2.5cm to 5cm across, depending upon the species or cultivar.         Passiflora will adjust to any kind of soil, except desert conditions or very alkaline soil. Prefers full sun but will do with a light place or even half-shade. Passiflora need abundant watering during the growing season. In winter watering can significantly be reduced but good soil moisture must be maintained. Passiflora edulis is a vine species of passion flower that is native to Brazil, Paraguay and northern Argentina. Its common names include Passion Fruit, Passionfruit and Purple Granadilla. It is cultivated commercially in tropical and subtropical areas for its edible sweet, seedy fruit and is widely grown in several countries of South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, Southern Asia, Israel, Australia, Hawaii and United States. The passion fruit is round to oval, either yellow or dark purple at maturity, with a soft to firm, juicy interior. The fruit is both eaten and juiced; passion fruit juice is often added to other fruit juices to enhance aroma.
