I can't speak for other passies, but White Wedding is tough--I planted it during the summer (which is something I normally don't do because it's too hard for things to get established), and the summer that I planted it we had a couple heat waves where it was getting up to 110, and it didn't show any signs of stress at all even though it couldn't have been completely established yet. The one thing about it though is that it is a rather large vine--I have wire fencing across the whole back of my property (which is about 40 ft??), and it's now 2 yrs old and is covering almost half of the fence. So if you have one of those cute little wimpy trellises it'll outgrow it for sure.

Here's a picture of it--you can't see the whole thing but you'll get the idea.
