Hi

I am not an expert gardener and have subscribed to this group to seek help
if possible!

I have germinated some passion fruit seeds in a pot in my kitchen.

What do I need to do to keep them and then grow them on? They are currently
30mm tall.

When can I plant them outside and where is the best location for them? My
garden lies south - north and is surrounded by 2 metre high close boarded
fence.

Thank you.



Hi there

Plant them outside after the last frost in your area.
They do especially well on a south facing wall in full/partial sun.
Give them something to climb up though, they do like to wrap their
tendrils around things!

30cm is quite a good size to plant out, just be sure to mulch the base
of the plant in winter though to give it some protection. The roots of
passionflowers go quite deep so they should survive some of the lower
temperatures,........unless they're edulis or one of the exotic passion
flowers!
