Passiflora ‘Snow Queen’

Passiflora ‘Snow Queen’ is a vigorous, hardy passion flower that can be grown in containers or planted in the ground. It is hardy to at least -8 degrees Celsius. Bury the stem 4-6 inches deep when planting to enhance hardiness. The spectacularly elegant blooms are strongly fragrant, five inches (12 cm) in diametre, and pure white with broad tepals overlain with long corona filaments. It is a big improvement on ‘Constance Eliott’ with much larger flowers and better disease resistance. Where not hardy, passionflowers can be grown as a patio plant in summer and a houseplant in winter. Plants bloom on a new wood so a hard prune can be given each spring.
