My hybrid Passiflora 'Star of Surbiton'. Named in the International Passiflora Register (2003). Suitable for container growing or in the ground in a sheltered location. Medium vigour with very variable foliage and very free flowering. Large flowers, up to 12.5cm across , that stay open longer than other similar crosses. Occasional large decorative green fruit ripening to yellow orange. For those puzzled as to how these parents can give rise to such a white flower, the original 'Star of' series by John Vanderplank were all P. 'Amethyst' x P. caerulea 'Constance Eliott', not x P. caerulea as was widely thought.
