Passiflora aurantia, known as the Blunt-leaved Passionfruit, is a climbing plant with edible fruit that is native to an area from north east NSW to north east Queensland.

P.aurantia is a tendril climber - it develops filament-like structures from its stems which attach themselves to branches of other plants, thus providing support. It is a moderately vigourous climber with entire or tri-lobed leaves which are dark green in colour and up to 70mm long.

The red or salmon coloured flowers are seen mainly in winter and spring but some flowers may also occur at other times of the year. The flowers are 40 - 80 mm in diameter and are followed by ovoid, green fruits about 50 mm in diameter containing greyish pulp and numerous black seeds. The pulp is edible but not especially palatable.

Although P.aurania occurs in sub-tropical to troopical areas it has proven to be a reliable garden plant in more temperate areas provided it is protected from frost. It prefers moist, fairly rich soils, reasonable drainage and can be grown in full sun to semi shade.

For sale is a packet of 10 fresh seeds.
