Passi flora

[Muhammad Imran]

Will passi flora flower in Lahore if grown from seed? the usual blue one. If yes, please also give tips for seed germination and general care, sun , watering etc, and how much time will it take from germination to flower.

Will appreciate your responses.

I germinated passiflora seeds in summer in around 20 days. It needs heat to germinate, keep it moist and wrap in plastic clear bag keep it in shade. It is a gamble growing passiflora from seed because it might take lot of years to flower from seed. The blue one is easily available in lahore so no need to try blue one from seed. Better to buy a plant on bloom. Wisteria and passiflora are notorious for not flowering when grown from seed.
