I got the seeds from the fruit. The seeds need to be cleaned from the gooey stuff thoroughly then I planted them directly in peat moss, the took 2 weeks to sprout. (photos taken 27 October 2017 after 6 weeks of planting):
You certainly have green fingers liono. Seeds seem to know that if they grow for you they'll get 5 star attention.
Mmm,, those have different leaves from ours ! I have some of the fruit from ours dried. I could send you some but you may not get them till next year.
Mart, there are over 200 species in the Passiflora genus around the world and to make matters even more confusing I believe each one has a different looking leaf There are nine different species native to the US and from what I have seen the leaves are different even between those.
Mine are wild and grow along the pasture fence. They are the purple ones with fruit a bit larger than a golf ball. Do not have pics . Between them and wild morning glories I battle them every year in the large garden. Both are invasive in our area. Jim missed spraying one on the fence last year so I grabbed a couple of fruit from it.
Update on the passion fruit (photos taken 5 January 2018): I hope that they can hold-on during winter.
Hi Mart! Will keep updating this thread. I am thinking to put some in the ground as the weather gets warmer.
