Description:
Passiflora edulis Norfolk Black is a hardy and productive variety of passionfruit, well-suited to Australian gardens. This tropical vine is known for its striking dark purple to black fruit, which has a delicious, sweet-tart flavour. The vine features glossy, deep green leaves and curly tendrils that help it climb and secure itself to trellises or fences. Norfolk Black is highly prized for its rich, aromatic fruit, which ripens to a dark shade, signalling it's ready for harvest. It typically begins fruiting within 18 months of planting, making it a quick and rewarding choice for gardeners. The attractive, intricate flowers are also a highlight, adding beauty to the vine as it grows. Ideal for tropical and subtropical regions of Australia, this variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, offering both a stunning display and a delicious crop for your garden.
