Product description
A winter hardy passionflower that is very suitable to grow in the garden. As young plants are more fragile, they can best be protected against lower temperatures with straw or a layer of leaves. The flowers of the Maypop passionflower are varying in color from pale white to pink and purple. The passionfruits are known in the US as ‘Maypop’ and are edible. The plant can grow very decoratively against a wall or fence, with preferably as much sun as possible.Sowing description: Soak the seeds for 24 hours in orange or lemon juice, after which they can be sown in sowing mix. Keep the soil constantly moist, cover with plastic foil or glass, and let the seeds germinate in a warm and bright spot inside the house. Germination may take a few weeks or months.

Almost all seeds germinated. I did however, after soaking in water as recimmended, let the seeds germinate dark and at about 30 degrees. (I use a kind of heting mat below the seeds.) The plants are growing like crazy and are now blooming (about three months after seeding). I hope they will have time to set fruits. Don’t know if they are self fertile though. I grow them in a greenhouse in the south of Sweden.
Dit jaar geen bloei, wel groei.
Na een 3 tal bloemen (buiten*) is de plant afgestorven tot de grond. In mei kwam ze weer prima op, nu een uitloper rijker. Nu eind augustus, 2,5m groei gehad, maar dit jaar helaas dit jaar (*nog?) geen bloemen. Groeit mooi hier, tussen 4 andere soorten passieflora door. Hoop nog op bloei, een vrucht is vrij veel gevraagd buiten een kas in midden Nederland.
Inmiddels 2 forse planten in koude kas,volgend jaar naar de tuin..
S winters helemaal niets in de pot, echter in voorjaargewoon weer uitlopen.
Top, van5 zaden 4 opgekomen.
Got 5 seeds of this plant (1 package), the first sprouted 7-10 days after soaking it in water, so great experience. The germination instructions are wrong though. It says warm and bright spot, while light acts as inhibitor (meaning less likely to sprout).
So to properly germinate this, after soaking, place this in a really warm spot (the closer to 35 degrees celsius the better), keep it moist and in the dark. For example in wet household paper in a pastic bag behind the heating. Might still work in the sun if you get lucky, but no thanks to the light, more so to the warmth.
Volgens instructie gezaaid: niks.
Heb via internet gezocht naar andere methoden, weer geprobeerd: niks.
Geen enkele van mijn zaden ontkiemde.
Dit is gebeurd met al de zaden die ik besteld heb van verschillende planten.
