Passiflora White Wedding (Passion Flower)

Passiflora 'White Wedding' is a vigorous climber with fragrant, pure white flowers, 4 in. across (10 cm), adorned with a ring of brilliant filaments. This elegant Passion Flower also features a lush foliage of lobed, blue-green leaves. This tetraploid hybrid of Passiflora caerulea 'Constance Elliott' was created by Roland Fischer of Hemer, Germany.

• Blooms profusely through most of the warm months from early summer to early fall
• Thrives in full sun or part shade, in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Good drainage is essential. Go light on fertilizer and water deeply, but infrequently. Passion Flowers should be encouraged to reach deep into the earth for water. This prompts them to develop a powerful root system that will sustain them through droughts and freezes. Do not provide too much manure or compost or this will result in lush vegetative growth and poor flowering. Keep the soil on the dry side in the winter.
• Easy to grow, this twining vine can quickly grow up to 10-15 ft. long (3-5 m). Don't try to train your Passion Flower to be too neat and compact. The branches allowed to hang loose and droop a bit will be the ones most inclined to flower.
• Excellent choice for trellises, walls, fences or arbors. Perfect in wall-side borders, city gardens, cottage gardens, Mediterranean gardens and containers. This trouble free climber clings with tendrils so won't damage brickwork or fences!
• Butterflies are extraordinarily fond of Passion Flowers.
• The terminal buds may be pinched out to encourage branching.
