Sublime. I've installed it in my conservatory in a 40-50cm (16-20in) diameter pot with a reservoir + beads as advised by the seller. And it's thriving+++. It grows 10cm (4in) per day and there's an explosion of fragrant flowers. I received it for Mother's Day and today 4 huge flowers have bloomed. Delighted, it's a magnificent plant to watch grow.

Description
The Passiflora x allardii is a beautiful, vigorous climbing liana that offers large, highly scented white flowers tinged with pink and a lavender-blue crown from spring to autumn. This tender variety reaches 4 to 6m (13 to 20ft) in height and should be grown in a large pot on a patio or a conservatory and brought indoors when temperatures drop below a maximum of -2°C (28.4°F).
Mostly from tropical areas in South America, passionflowers belong to the large family of Passifloraceae, which includes 400 species and numerous spontaneous or horticultural hybrids.
The Passiflora allardii results from cross-breeding between P. caerulea 'Constance Elliot' (white) and P. quadrangularis (red and violet). It is a rambling plant that clings to its support using tendrils, reaching an average height of 4m (13ft). Its long stems are adorned with trilobed and shiny leaves, ranging from medium to light green, almost evergreen. It flowers from July until the beginning of autumn, with flowers measuring 12cm (5in) in diameter that constantly renew themselves on the plant. Its highly scented flowers are formed of white tepals topped with fairly elongated pale pink petals. These harmonise beautifully with the lavender-blue crown of filaments ringed with white. The stamens, on the other hand, are yellow and pale pink. The flowers are highly appreciated by pollinating insects.
This Passion Flower is not capricious and challenging to cultivate like specific orchids. It grows easily in any well-drained, light, relatively deep and not-too-dry soil in summer and flowers generously in the sun in a sheltered position. At the end of flowering, pruning consists of reducing the branches to maintain a beautiful habit. With its compact habit, P. allardii will be greatly appreciated in conservatories or greenhouses, where it will pass through cold winters without damage.

Planting and care
The passionflower is a plant that requires full sun and should be protected from cold and drying winds. Plant it in regular, deep, well-worked, well-amended, and well-drained soil. Under these conditions, it grows easily and without any specific requirements for the soil as long as it is balanced and healthy. Place it on a support to support the weight of the vegetation. Direct its branches well onto the support as the vegetation is exuberant. Pruning before winter is recommended to maintain a reasonable size. Do not hesitate to cut back the main branches to facilitate growth. Remove dead or misplaced branches and prune excess branches to provide air circulation. Beware of scale insects, whiteflies, and the cucumber mosaic virus. Treat preventively.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
