Description

The Yellow Passion Fruit is a vigorous tropical vine that brings a taste of the exotic to warm, protected corners of the Bay Area. Known for its large, lemon-yellow fruits and uniquely sweet-tart, floral flavor, it‘s a fantastic choice for gardeners in frost-free zones looking to grow a conversation-starting and prolific fruiting vine.

• Produces large, round, smooth-skinned fruits that ripen to a bright, glossy yellow, adding a tropical accent to the garden.

• Flesh is juicy, aromatic, and orange-colored, filled with edible black seeds, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.

• Flavor is distinctively floral and less acidic than the common purple passion fruit, often described as a mix of guava, pineapple, and citrus.

• A fast-growing, self-pollinating, semi-evergreen perennial vine that can quickly cover a sturdy trellis, arbor, or fence with lush foliage.

• Stunning and intricate purple and white flowers are a marvel to behold and attract pollinators.

• Thrives in warmth and requires frost protection; best suited for the warmest, sunniest microclimates in Zone 9a (e.g., south-facing walls in urban heat islands or inland valleys).
