Passiflora 'Victoria'

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.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
