Passiflora edulis var. flavicarpa, known as yellow passion fruit or Maracuja Yellow, is an exotic vine that will captivate you not only with its juicy fruits, but also with its beautiful flowers of fantastic shapes. The fruits grow to 10–15 cm, have a deep yellow skin and inside they hide a delicious, sweet and sour pulp with an intense tropical aroma. Compared to the purple variant, they are larger, juicier and even more fragrant.
Cultivating passion fruit is surprisingly easy, and even in our conditions you can enjoy its refreshing taste. It grows very quickly, blooms from May to September and brings the first harvest in the second year after sowing. In summer, you can place it outside, where it will climb a pergola or trellis, and in winter you can simply move it indoors. It needs a sunny location, well-drained substrate and regular watering.
If you are looking for a plant that will decorate your home, terrace or winter garden and at the same time reward you with unique fruits full of vitamins, Maracuja Yellow is the perfect choice. Try growing your own exotic crop – it's easy and the result is worth it!
A suitable plant even for those who are just starting out with tropical plants
