Passiflora RIVERSIDE® 'Snow Queen'
Walls, trellises and pots : a graphic passion flower from May to the frosts
Vigorous and spectacularly climbing, this polyploid hybrid attaches itself thanks to its tendrils.
Evergreen in mild winter regions, semi evergreen in colder areas, it must be protected during temperatures of under -8°C.
The large foliage, formed of 3 to 5 lobes with pronounced veins, is shiny and of an attractive dark green.
From May until the frosts several flowers appear daily. They can reach 12 cm in diameter and surprise us with their pure white petals, sepals and filament crowns. The 5 green stamens and the 3 dark stigmata stand out well from the white. The scented flowers last several days. They are followed by decorative, non-edible yellow-orange fruits of about 6 cm.
Very decorative and graphic during the whole summer, RIVERSIDE® 'Snow Queen' decorates walls and trellises and can also be grown in pots.

Care
Passionflowers need light, whether they're inside or outside. They must be protected from the wind and the cold, except in a warm climate.
Water regularly.
Cutting back in the spring or before wintering is recommended to maintain a manageable size. Remove any weak growth and reduce the main stems to under 1 m long.
