Planning on buying another one
I’m saving up for my second vine after sampling my first’s fruits. Unlike the yellow varieties here, this purple Frederick is delightfully sweet with a slight tart, great spooned over yogurt or mixed into cocktails.

Very happy
Living in San Diego’s mild winters, I planted this vine in spring and it’s been a nonstop grower—now climbing my fence at nearly 10 ft tall in just one season.

5 stars for sure!
Absolutely thrilled with this Purple Frederick Passion Fruit Vine! It arrived healthy and ready to go. Within two months, the vine was nearly 6 ft long, covered in those breathtaking purple-and-white blooms. I had my first fruit this summer—a rich purple oval beauty, perfect for juicing.
