Passiflora Snow Queen (9cm)

Bring Passiflora Snow Queen to your garden and experience one of the most beautiful flowers nature will passionately wield for you. It is a vigorous evergreen to a semi-evergreen climber, an ardent flowering shrub that has a long flowering period and adorns every garden with reblooms. Using its tendrils, it will cling to any support if finds in the vicinity and create a vine that is so beautiful and gorgeous, it is simply hard to resist.

Snow Queen produces a stunning large white flower with white filaments and sepals. The filaments are structured in the form of a crown surrounding the green stamens and purple stigmata in the centre. This glorious combination of flower parts is in fact, further decorated with bright white petals. These flowers contrast beautifully against the multi-lobed glossy dark-green leaves. Flowers of Snow Queen have a pretty long life and rebloom every few weeks.

Plant your Snow Queen in a sunny sheltered spot or partial shade. The blooms will be healthier in full sun, planted in moist and rich soil that is well-drained. Considered evergreen in warmer regions, though colder Winters can still cause leaf drop over Winter.

Passiflora Snow Queen is easy to grow but requires occasional maintenance. Since it is invasive and vigorous in growth, prune it occasionally to control its size. Cut overgrowing shoots back to the base once every spring and in winter. Deadheading the flowers will encourage new flowers.

Snow Queen makes a perfect groundcover as it will quickly take over free space and will take over any small shrub that stands in its way. Use it along wall sides and trellises as striking climbing vines.
