Hey all

Im not sure if this is in the right place on this website but here goes:

I have got 2 Passion Flower Plants growing beautifully outside my house. Which have been flowering lovely Smile

I am just a little confused as to where the passion fruit will grow from ?

it is is like ....say a strawberry where the fruit grows from the flower ?

I am currently stopping myself from dead heading it because i dont want to ruin my chances fof fruit.

Any help would be gratefully recieved Smile

Thanks

Hannah

Hannah, i have the same plant, mine has taken over one part of my wall in the garden, it's beautiful, after the flowers have died off the fruit will grow,(like strawberries), then when it is ripe you can pick them and use them to make jam, its nice, i made some last year. It's not like the ones in the shops tho, these are orange in colour.Theres a recipie for making them in a brandy liquer, but i'm not sure of the recipie at the moment.Hope this helps Smile

Hannah, I will be very surprised if your Passion flower fruit will be the edible kind like you buy in our fruit shops.
