passionflowers for the heat?

i live in montreal and our summers are ususally blistering hot-i also live in an appartement so everything goes on my balcony in full sun. i was wondering about the passifloras that are better suited for heat: 'blue bouquet' did really well for me, belotti didn't bloom at all and cincinnata bloomed a few times but hardly grew compared to what it is doing under fluorescent lights now (leaves not flowers). purple haze bloomed a few times but nothing spectacular. p. coriaceae is blooming under fluorescents so i'm probably going to keep in inside rather than on the balcony. i also have seedlings of p. suberosa but i'm not sure if they'll be happy in the heat and sun or better in the window inside.

any better ideas or ones that i should avoid?
