Description

Enjoy a wealth of beautiful blooms plastered on evergreen climbing foliage with Passiflora 'Victoria'. Seen as an alternative to clematis, this vigorous Passion Flower produces purplish red waxy flowers with darker filaments against a backdrop of glossy green leaves in the summer.

Ornamental green fruits can even emerge to end a particularly warm summer once flowering has concluded.

Known for toughness and resilience, ‘Victoria’ can become hardy once established, but should be planted against a south-facing wall or in a large pot in colder areas. This variety can be grown in a pot with an obelisk or trellis, ideal for coating a wall, archway, or fence with striking blooms.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips
If your Passion Flower is overgrown or badly frost-damaged, carry out renovation in spring by cutting back the stems to 30-60cm from soil level and it will respond by sending out new shoots.
Care Information

Planting Advice for Passiflora Passion Flowers:

  • Passion Flowers tend to bloom particularly well when their roots are restricted by a container or path side border.
  • When planting in a container, use John Innes No 3 potting compost or any good quality compost.
  • Pot-grown shrubs can be planted at any time of the year, as long as the soil is not waterlogged or frozen.
  • Water your potted plants well, then dig a hole a little deeper and three times the width of the supplied nursery pot.
  • Add a soil conditioner such as well-rotted manure to the earth removed from the hole where necessary.
  • Remove the plants from their pots and tease out a few of the roots.
  • Place your selected plant in the hole at the same level as the pot.
  • Refill the hole with the earth removed by backfilling, and firm in the soil with your hand, avoiding the root ball.
  • Water well and mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.

Aftercare Advice:

  • Water well and regularly for the first few months. With a robust and rapidly growing root system, your plants will establish rapidly.
  • Once planted, keep the area free of competing weeds.
  • Apply a generous layer of mulch around the base of the plants after planting and thereafter annually.

Pruning Advice:

  • Little pruning is needed apart from removing any branches that are dead, damaged or diseased.
Delivery Information
