Re: Passiflora
 

The pictures on this thread are amazing. I love the Passiflora blooms. Just stunning! Kudos to you all.

I've tried twice, unsuccessfully, to germinate both P. edulis and P. incarnata. 0% germination rate. On the last attempt, I tried a 2 day soak in 5% ethanol cider, as that is supposed to help leech out the germination inhibitors from the seeds. Still no joy. :(

I'm wondering if my seed is just too old? I purchased it early this year, but that's no guarantee of viability.

Can anyone point me in the direction for good, fresh seed? This thread has really inspired me. I want to try again.

I know someone in Tenn. that sales plants :)

Re: Passiflora
 

Thanks. I may eventually have to go that route, so if you can give me contact info, I'd appreciate that. However, I would really like to raise it from seed though. It's basically a challenge to me now. :)

Re: Passiflora
 

Tony would know best, but the only Passiflora seeds I bought on the internet never germinated. Probably too old. The ones I harvested from a ripe fruit basically all germinated with no special treatment.

Re: Passiflora
 

Well the seed don't necessarily need to be fresh from the fruit. Some seed are empty and won't germinate no matter how fresh.I've germinated passiflora seed that are 3 years old.

Re: Passiflora
 

OK, my p. incarnata has gotten completely out of hand. Not only is it moving to cover more fence at the speed of a small train, its in the yard, and worse, is now in the neighbor's yard and trees and shrubs. I was hoping she would say she liked it, but she's now moving and I don't see a passiflora infestation as a positive selling point. So if necessary, how do I kill it off? Can I be selective and allow some to stay-or will I just be postponing the inevitable? It covers over 50 feet of fence.Thanks all.
