Bounty (Passiflora edulis ‘Bounty’), is a vigorous and productive passion fruit variety known for its sweet, aromatic fruit and strong growth. Bounty produces round to slightly oval purple fruit filled with bright golden pulp that has a rich tropical flavor perfect for fresh eating, juices, desserts, and smoothies. This fast-growing climbing vine thrives in warm climates and can quickly cover trellises, fences, or arbors while producing beautiful exotic flowers. Passion fruit vines grow best in full sun with well-draining soil and benefit from a sturdy support structure for climbing. The Bounty passion fruit is self-fertile, meaning a single plant can produce fruit on its own because the flowers contain both male and female parts; however, pollinators like bees can help improve fruit production. With proper care, this vigorous vine can begin producing fruit within 1–2 growing seasons and makes a beautiful and productive addition to edible gardens, patios, and backyard food forests.

FYI - passion fruit is a butterfly host plant for Gulf fritillary and Zebra Longwing butterflies. Please do not spray passion fruit vines with anything. These caterpillars will munch on the leaves but its not enough damage to negativly impact passion fruit vines. 

How To Grow & Ideal Growing Conditions
USDA Hardiness Zones: 9-13

Protect young plants if temperatures drop below 40F. 

Perennial vining plant

Self-fertile but will produce more if there are 2 plants that can cross pollinate with each other

Sun: Full sun

Vine Length/Plant Size: Mature vines can get over 20FT. This is a very vigorous vining plant that requires vertical support to grow properly. 

Soil: Everything grows best in soil that is heavy in composted organic matter BUT passion fruit can grow in a variety of soils, like my native Florida sandy soil. Just fertilize regularly. 

Fertilizer: Use citrus fertilizer. My favorite is Espoma organic granular citrus-tone. Fertilize young vines to encourage lots of healthy growth with about 1/8 cup every 1.5 months. Once vines are established, I barely fertilize. I'll throw some fertilizer its way a few times a year, starting in spring to help "wake" up the vines after winter.
