10 BANANA PASSIONFRUIT SEEDS (Passiflora Mollissima) Fast Flower Vine Plant RARE

Banana Passionfruit PASSIFLORA MOLLISSIMA 10 SEEDSBanana passionfruit are oblong, measuring up to 5 inches in length. They grow on vines reaching over 20 foot long with shiny green leaves. Banana passionfruit is fragrant, with the aroma of oranges. The skin of the fruit is thick and leathery, turning from green to bright yellow or orange-yellow as the fruit ripens. Banana passionfruit has an aromatic orange pulp studded with black seeds. The pulp is juicy and sweet, with a tart bite and hints of banana. The plant is a vigorous grower, maturing rapidly from seed in just one year. The plant is known to live for 15 to 20 years. Banana passionfruit is a crop plant in South America and is valued because at full maturity, a single vine can produce 200 to 300 fruits. Banana passionfruit are a good source of fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants. The fruits contain calcium, phosphorus, iron, carbohydrates, and a small amount of protein. Banana passionfruit is best eaten out of hand. Slice the fruit lengthwise, and scoop the juicy pulp out of the skin with a spoon. The seeds of the fruit are edible. Banana passionfruit may be used in desserts such as cakes and pies, or in relishes, jams and other preserves. It pairs well with other tropical fruit like pineapples, kiwis, strawberries, mango, papaya, orange and guava in fruit salads. Banana passionfruit pairs well with fatty, creamy foods like cheesecake, cream sauces, duck breast, parfaits, and yogurt. In South America, Banana passionfruit is strained to remove the seeds for a smoother consistency, then used to flavor ice creams, juices and cocktails. In Colombia, it is drunk in milk smoothies, blended with honey or sugar. Store ripe Banana passionfruit in an open paper bag in the refrigerator, where they will last for around a week.Banana Passionfruit Thrive in Frost-Free Climates. Zones 8b-11 are Ideal for Growing Banana Passionfruit. They Will Survive Occasional Dips Below 25 Degrees F. & Will Regrow from the Roots the Following Spring.Passion Fruit Germination:1) Rub the outer shell with rough grit sandpaper and soak seeds in water for 48 hours, changing water daily.2) Use a heated propagator to keep the soil 75-80 degrees F.3) Plant seeds 1/2 inches deep in moist sterile soil. Never wet.4) Periodically check them so they don’t dry out. If mold or fungus is spotted, clean effected seeds with a copper based fungicide and rinse them off really well. Then place back in a new sterile potting mix. 5) Patience is required as with any Tropical seeds, germination times can vary from 6 weeks all the way up to 6 months. Some have been known to take up to a year, so don’t toss out what doesn’t germinate as quickly as others. They’re still good, and just need more time & are Well Worth the Wait!

300+ FRENCH MARIGOLD “SPARKY” MIX SEEDS FRESH FOR YOUR FLOWER POTS AND GARDENS

300FRENCH”SPARKY”MIX MARIGOLDSEEDS ### Growing and Seed Harvesting Guide for French “Sparky” Mix Marigold **Introduction:** French marigolds (Tagetes patula), particularly the “Sparky” Mix variety, are cherished for their vibrant colors and compact growth habit. These flowers are not only beautiful but also serve functional purposes in gardens, such as pest deterrence. This guide will provide you with all the necessary steps to successfully grow and harvest seeds from French “Sparky” Mix Marigolds. — ### Growing French “Sparky” Mix Marigolds #### 1. **Choosing the Right Location** – **Sunlight:** Marigolds thrive in full sun. Choose a location that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. – **Soil:** Ensure well-draining soil with good fertility. Marigolds prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 7.0). You can enhance this by mixing in organic matter, like compost. #### 2. **Planting** – **Timing:** Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date in your area, typically in late spring. You can start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost for an early start. – **Spacing:** Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them about 10-12 inches apart to allow for their growth. #### 3. **Watering** – Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. Water at the base of the plants to prevent mildew and fungal diseases. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. #### 4. **Fertilizing** – Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer when planting, or apply a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to encourage lush growth and flowering. #### 5. **Pest and Disease Control** – Marigolds are generally hardy and resist many pests and diseases. Keep an eye out for aphids, spider mites, and slugs. If detected, use organic methods like neem oil or insecticidal soap to treat infestations. #### 6. **Deadheading and Pruning** – Regularly remove spent flowers (deadheading) to promote continuous blooming and extend the flowering period. You can also lightly prune back overgrown plants to enhance bushiness. — ### Harvesting Seeds from French “Sparky” Mix Marigolds #### 1. **Timing for Seed Collection** – Allow the flowers to fully mature and dry on the plant. This usually occurs late in the growing season, typically in late summer to early fall. The petals will drop off, leaving a seed head. #### 2. **Identifying Mature Seed Heads** – Look for brown, dry seed pods that feel firm and appear slightly shriveled. It’s best to collect seeds on a dry day. #### 3. **Harvesting Seeds** – Use scissors or garden shears to cut the seed heads off the plant. – Place the seed heads in a paper bag or an open container in a cool, dry place to further dry for about a week. #### 4. **Extracting Seeds** – Once the seed heads are completely dry, gently crumble them to release the seeds. You can separate the seeds from the chaff by blowing lightly or using a fine mesh strainer. #### 5. **Storing Seeds** – Store the cleaned seeds in a paper envelope or glass jar labeled with the variety name and date. Keep them in a cool, dark, and dry location. Properly stored seeds can last for up to 3-5 years. — ### Additional Tips – **Companion Planting:** French marigolds are great companions in vegetable gardens, helping to deter harmful pests. – **Succession Planting:** To ensure a continuous bloom, consider sowing seeds every few weeks until mid-summer. – **Varieties:** You can mix and match with other marigold varieties for a colorful display. ### Conclusion With their bright blooms and pest-repelling qualities, French “Sparky” Mix Marigolds are a wonderful addition to any garden. Following this growing and seed harvesting guide, you can enjoy these cheerful flowers year after year! Happy gardening!
