Description:
Passiflora edulis Panama Red is a striking variety of passionfruit, known for its vibrant red fruit and rich, tangy flavour. This tropical vine features glossy green foliage and curly tendrils that allow it to climb and spread over trellises, fences, or other support structures. The Panama Red variety produces large, eye-catching flowers with purple and white petals, followed by bold red fruit with smooth, slightly wrinkled skin. The fruit is typically larger than other varieties, with a sweet-tart flavour that's perfect for fresh eating, juices, or desserts. Panama Red passionfruit begins to bear fruit within 18 months of planting, offering a quick and rewarding harvest. Ideal for subtropical and tropical regions of Australia, this variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, delivering both an attractive garden feature and a delicious, high-yielding crop.
