'Panama Red' Passion Fruit – 10" Pot (24–48")

💜❤️ Passionfruit ‘Panama Red’ (Passiflora) — Deep Red Fruit, Sweet & Highly Fragrant, Perfect for Pots + Trellis

10” pot (24–48”)

‘Panama Red’ is a stunning tropical passionfruit vine grown for its exotic flowers and deep red (burgundy) fruit with a sweet flavor and a powerful tropical aroma. It’s an excellent choice for container growing in a greenhouse, sunroom, or on a warm patio—just give it a strong trellis or cable support and it will climb quickly. A true “wow” plant: decorative, floriferous, and delicious.

Highlights

• Deep red fruit (burgundy tones) — very eye-catching

• Sweet, aromatic pulp with bold tropical fragrance

• Heavy flowering in warm, bright conditions

• Great in containers with trellis/support (greenhouse/patio/sunroom)

• Fast climber — quickly covers a structure

Growing Guide

• Light: Full sun / very bright light (6–8+ hours ideal)

• Support: Strong trellis or wires; train young vines

• Water: Water regularly; let the top layer dry slightly between waterings

• Soil: Rich but well-draining mix (potting soil + perlite/coco)

• Fertilizer: Regular feeding; switch to higher potassium (K) during bloom/fruit

• Pollination: Often self-fertile, but gently shaking flowers (or using a small brush) can improve fruit set in a greenhouse

Harvest

Pick when the fruit feels heavier, the skin turns a uniform deep red, and it separates easily when ripe. You can also let it finish ripening at room temperature for maximum sweetness and aroma.
