Passiflora cf. edulis cv Maracuja Nativo is a passionfruit cultivar that originates in a sandy, savannah-like biome near the ocean in Espírito Santo, Brazil. Despite the region’s dryness, the environment remains highly humid, creating unique growing conditions for this plant.
The vine closely resembles the common Passiflora edulis, but its fruits ripen to a distinct yellowish color. Unlike most cultivated edulis varieties, the pulp inside is a creamy color—a rare trait not previously observed in either wild or cultivated edulis cultivars.
The flavor is a delightful balance of sweet and sour, accompanied by a special aromatic note that sets it apart. As with many passionflowers, this plant grows as a vigorous liana, climbing and sprawling naturally.
Seeds are sold in packs of 5. Seeds are shipped in humid vermiculite.
