So excited about this one,names a bit of a mouthful :-), very sporadic germination but have 3 seedlings now this one being the largest,have saved some seed for spring just in case but fingers crossed these survive winter.

Did you google it Amy? :-), it is supposed to be hardy but looks so exotic, did look see if anyone else on here had grown it but no pictures, can't wait till next year :-)
Meanie might know :-)

Nice. The flowers look like Magnolia Stellata - gone wrong, lol.

I know nothing..............
...........but Chiltern seeds suggest growing it as a biennial, so probably borderline hardy.

I'd keep one in the kitchen or somewhere in a small pot, repotting in the spring when the days seem to suddenly get longer.

It looks wonderful Kathy , in fact I thought it looked very much like Sue's Passiflora anti... the one that Meanie put a photo of on here ,except that it is white ....

I did get the seed from Chilterns Meanie, I'll certainly do that,have the perfect spot in the utility room don't want to loose it :-)
Thanks Amy, Dawn and Carole :-), yes I saw that Passiflora Amy, very pretty, now you mention it it does look very like it.

Thought you'd like it Meanie, something a bit different, amazed you don't already have it :-))
