Growing Guide: Passion Fruit 'Bounty'
Growing Tips
Plant Passiflora ‘Bounty’ in full sun and well-drained soil. Provide a strong trellis or fence for climbing, as vines can grow rapidly. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruiting. Mulch to help conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly after fruiting to manage size and encourage new growth. Hardy in USDA Zones 9–11; in cooler climates, grow in containers and overwinter indoors.
