9GreenBox Edible Passion Flower - 2 Pack

Exotic Touch for Your Garden - Product Description

Enhance your garden with a touch of exotic beauty! Passionflowers, with their vibrant colors and large blossoms, are the perfect addition to any outdoor space. With over 500 species to choose from, these vining plants can grow up to six inches across, creating a stunning display. Thriving in tropical climates, these plants are natural climbers and love to reach new heights.

To create the best living conditions for your passionflower, we recommend placing them on a trellis or fence. Their fast growth rate allows them to reach up to twenty feet in just one season, making them a fantastic addition to any vertical space. Alternatively, you can place them near a wall, where their tendrils will grip onto any surface, including concrete.

When planting, ensure you use a well-draining soil mixed with organic mulch, such as bark and dead leaves. This combination provides the necessary nutrients for healthy growth. As the plants mature, regular pruning may be required to maintain their desired size. Remove any dead foliage to encourage new and vibrant growth. In colder climates, a heavy layer of mulch before winter will protect the plant, allowing it to bounce back in the spring. If temperatures drop too low, consider transferring your passionflower indoors.

Passionflowers thrive in full sun, so if grown indoors, place them near a south-facing window. During extremely hot months, some brief afternoon shade may be necessary to prevent the leaves from drying out. If the plant appears burnt, provide temporary relief from the heat by relocating it or adding some covering.

Watering is crucial for healthy passionflower growth. Aim for two deep soakings per week, totaling approximately one to two inches of water if there has been no rainfall. The shallow root system benefits from the presence of organic mulch, as it helps retain moisture and keeps the plant adequately hydrated. Monitor the leaves closely and adjust your watering schedule accordingly. If leaves become limp or droopy, you may be overwatering, while dry leaves signal the need for more water.

To ensure optimal flower growth, fertilize your passionflower with a solid fertilizer that has a balanced ratio of nutrients, such as 2-1-3, 4-4-4, or 5-7-5. Begin fertilizing before new growth emerges in the spring and repeat every four weeks until fall. Use the recommended dosage or a lighter application if needed. Adequate fertilization and watering are essential for the passionflower to bloom beautifully.

In summary, our passionflower product offers vibrant colored blossoms, edible fruit, and the ability to spread up to 30 feet. These plants prefer filtered sun and are hardy in zones 9-11. Each pack contains two passionflower plants, allowing you to create a stunning garden display. So, don't miss out on the opportunity to add this exotic touch to your garden!
