How do you collect passion flower?
    #21952783 - 07/16/15 04:48 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

So far 1 of my plants have been flowering like crazy and I've been enjoying watching the old flowers turn into passion fruits. I was just wandering if I could harvest the flower and still get fruits from it?

I know the main active "calming" alkaloids are found mainly within the flower. Right? So do I have to harvest the flower when it's fully open and in display or can I wait till it dries up and closes to harvest? If I were to do the latter could I leave a bit of the flower there after harvest and still get a fruit in the end?

I'm hoping to make a tea today with a few different calming plants all together but I've never used the passion flower so please help me to get this tea going:super:

Posting to see what the answer is....



I think you are correct though, it's the actual flower you want. And if I were to wager a guess, I would say it should need to be picked while in full bloom. But honestly, that is just a guess. I have always assumed that if you were growing passiflora, you would have to choose between picking your flower, or letting the flower go to fruit... :shrug:

'Which road do I take?' she asked.
'Where do you want to go?' was his response.
'I don't know', Alice answered.
'Then', said the cat, 'it doesn't matter.'
