I have had so many fruits on my Lavender Lady passiflora and they've all been empty. I recently harvested 2 that had seeds inside. Between the two fruits there were 26 seeds. I also think my Lavender Lady may have been labeled wrong and is actually Amethystiana(spelling). The man who has the UK passiflora site mentioned that it's common for them to be confused. Comparing photos is hard, but his photos of Amethystiana vines, flowers and buds sure look exactly like mine. He said about 1 in 12 fruits will have seeds. Don't ask what I crossed them to. I would use the left over pollen on all the flowers since I figured they wouldn't make seeds anyway.
