Nellie Kelly Passionfruit Grafted Panama Red allows gardeners in the cooler, southern parts of Australia to bring a hint of the tropics to their own backyard. The hardy rootstock is highly resistant to frost, disease, pests and temperature extremes, making it ideal plant for sub-tropical and temperate regions.
This vigorous climber produces an abundance of large, red, soft-skinned fruit with a juicy, aromatic pulp and a mild passionfruit flavour. Its flowers attract butterflies in spring, and its lush green foliage covers up to 8m² a year – making it a good choice for privacy screening.
