    Does anyone here grow Passiflora ‘White Lightning’? I can’t find it anywhere online anymore and it’s my absolute favourite!

    Mine was killed to the ground last winter, at least I think its White Lightning, but has come up all over the place this summer, but none of the suckering shoots has flowered.

    Argh it’s out of stock everywhere! Mine died unexpectedly…I loved the flowers! I’m hoping I can get cuttings from someone but the chances seem quite slim!

      Maybe I’ll just have to wait then! I’m scared they’ll stop stocking it though!

      I did have a plant of White Lightning some years ago and it must have died out, maybe they do, I do now remember buying Constance Elliott but obviously got the two mixed up.:biggrin:

      That would explain why it's suckering everywhere, pete. I planted Constance Elliot 13 years ago and it's turned into a complete pest. First it suckered up into a 10' Pittosporum tobira and now it's running riot through a 30' long Eleagnus hedge. The next time I get my paws on some glyphosate.....:paladin:

      It's been there a while and has only really suckered this year, two reasons I I think, first the frost killed all the top growth off, then I dug the border and probably broke up all the roots.
