Description
Passiflora ‘Snow Queen’
Clever hybrid breeding has made Passiflora ‘Snow Queen’ much more vigorous than other white varieties, with bigger, longer-lasting flowers, larger leaves and stronger overall growth. Purple stigmas and white filaments are encircled by tepals with a subtle green tint – each flower measuring up to 12cm across. The fragrant flowers are produced in continuous succession from mid-summer to autumn and each flower remains open for several days. Fertilised flowers produce ornamental but inedible, egg-shaped orange fruits. The snowy flowers form a strong contrast against the dark-green, tri-lobed foliage that quickly clothes vertical supports via twining stems. Vigorous and easy to grow, these subtropical climbers make a showy addition to a warm, south or west-facing sheltered wall, trellis, or a conservatory. Though frost hardy, in cold areas, passion flowers will benefit from winter protection or being moved indoors to a greenhouse or conservatory over winter. Height: 2.5-4m (8.2-13ft). Spread: 1.5-2.5m ( 5ft-8.2ft).Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
