Product description
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. In mild winter regions, the leaves will turn our more evergreen than the harsh winter ones.
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 mind you, it will literally take over any small shrub that stands in its way. Use it along wall sides and trellises as striking climbing vines.
Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Passiflora vines benefit from regular pruning to control growth and promote stronger blooming.
How to Water
Water Passiflora regularly, ensuring the soil is kept moist but not soggy. Avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot. Water more frequently during hot weather, but let the soil dry slightly between waterings.
How to Plant
Plant Passiflora in well-draining soil with plenty of sunlight. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and place the plant at soil level. Space plants 90-120cm apart to allow for growth, and provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb.
