📝 Growing Notes
Passion fruit vines are vigorous climbers requiring a strong trellis or fence. Their spectacular flowers are pollinated by large native bees, making companion plants that attract bees especially valuable. Purple passion fruit (P. edulis) is the standard garden variety; yellow passion fruit (P. flavicarpa) is more vigorous and disease-resistant but requires warmer conditions.
