Passion Flower, Passion Vine
Long, fast-growing vine that develops many branches and, since mid-August, garlands of large, fragrant lilac flowers, absolutely beautiful!!! An enchantment on my balcony, facing SOUTH, not exposed to the scorching sun of Marseille. This Passionflower seems to appreciate the humid heat; I spray it morning and evening; it clings to the light and to neighboring plants with great vigor through its tenacious tendrils. Very entertaining, it offers friendly company. Full of life!!!

Description
The Passion Flower 'Perfume Passion' is a hybrid variety appreciated for the fragrance of its large bicoloured flowers with exotic charm. The petals are pale pink to mauve and white, topped with a crown of blue-mauve filaments. The flowers measure up to 15 cm in diameter and exhale a strong lemony scent. This vigorous climber is relatively frost-sensitive, withstanding temperatures down to about -7°C.
Mostly originating from tropical areas of South America, passion flowers belong to the large family of passifloraceae, which includes 400 species and numerous spontaneous or horticultural hybrids. The Passiflora x belotii 'Perfume Passion' is a result of cross-breeding between Passiflora alata and Passiflora caerulea. It is a voluble plant that clings to its support using tendrils, reaching an average height of 4 to 6m. Its long stems are adorned with trilobed, glossy leaves of medium to light green, which are more or less evergreen depending on the severity of the cold. Its flowering period extends from June to early autumn, in the form of 15 cm in diameter flowers that constantly renew themselves on the plant. Its highly fragrant flowers consist of white tepals surmounted by elongated, soft pink petals. These harmonize beautifully with a crown of blue-lavender filaments ringed with white. The stamens, on the other hand, are yellow-green. The flowers are highly appreciated by pollinating insects.
The 'Perfume Passion' Passion Flower is an undemanding plant outside of its hardiness constraints. It grows without difficulty in any well-drained, light, fairly deep soil that is not too dry in summer, and flowers generously in the sun in a sheltered position. Pruning, at the end of flowering, consists of reducing the branches to maintain a beautiful shape. It thrives in all southern and Atlantic regions, and even further north, as it can withstand temperatures down to approximately -7°C. With its fragrant flowering and its very exotic appearance, it is used to dress walls, fences, trellises, porches, and lattices, for example, by associating it with a small evergreen vine that provides permanent decoration and staggered flowering such as a Clematis cirrhosa, which flowers in winter, or a Hardenbergia violacea with spring flowering. It is also highly appreciated in verandas or greenhouses, where it will withstand colder winters without damage.

Planting and care
The 'Perfume Passion' Passionflower is a sun-loving and heat-loving plant that should be placed sheltered from cold and drying winds. Plant it in a regular, deep, well-worked, and well-drained soil, preferably moist in summer and not too wet in winter. Hardy up to -7°C by its stump, it can be planted in the ground in more Mediterranean climates where olive trees grow, as well as in coastal areas. Inland, it is necessary to plant it in a protected location, with good winter mulching. Place it on a support to support the weight of the vegetation. Direct its branches well onto the support, as the growth is exuberant. Pruning before winter is recommended to maintain a reasonable size. Do not hesitate to cut back the main branches to facilitate growth. In early spring, remove dead branches near the stump. Beware of scale insects and whiteflies, as well as 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.
