About Passion Fruit

A tropical, fast-growing vine that produces delicious, tangy fruit. On a terrace, it requires a sturdy pergola or trellis. While it grows aggressively, you must select self-fertile, purple-fruited improved varieties; local wild types often require hand-pollination and are much less productive in containers.
