Beautiful Purple bee flowers sourced in Tennessee fast growing Planting passion bee flowers, which are known for attracting pollinators like bees, can be a delightful addition to your garden. If you're referring to plants that specifically attract bees, such as certain types of passionflower (Passiflora spp.) known for their vibrant blooms and ability to attract pollinators, here are detailed instructions to get you started: ### 1. Select the Right Location - **Light:** Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Most passion flowers thrive in full sun for optimal growth and blooming. - **Soil:** The site should have well-draining soil. Amend heavy clay soil with compost or peat moss to improve drainage. - **Space:** Ensure there's enough space for the vine to grow. Some species can spread quite widely. ### 2. Prepare the Soil - Loosen the soil to a depth of about 12-15 inches using a shovel or a tiller. This will allow the roots to penetrate deeply and establish more easily. - Mix in a 2-4 inch layer of compost or well-rotted manure to enrich the soil with nutrients. ### 3. Planting - **Timing:** Plant in spring after the danger of frost has passed or in early fall, giving the plant time to establish before winter. - **Method:** Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball of your passion flower plant. Gently remove the plant from its pot and loosen the roots if they are pot-bound. - **Placement:** Set the plant in the hole so that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Fill in around the root ball with soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. - **Watering:** Water the plant deeply immediately after planting to encourage root growth. - **Support:** Install a trellis, fence, or another support structure at the time of planting if you're growing a climbing variety. This will give the vine something to cling to as it grows. ### 4. Care and Maintenance - **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season. Once established, passion flowers can tolerate some drought, but they prefer regular watering. - **Mulching:** Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. - **Fertilizing:** Feed your passion flower with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer in early spring and again in midsummer to support growth and blooming. - **Pruning:** Prune in early spring to remove dead or weak growth and to shape the plant. Some species may benefit from more aggressive pruning to control size and encourage bushier growth. ### 5. Monitoring for Pests and Diseases - Regularly check your plant for signs of pests like aphids or passion vine hoppers. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if needed. - Watch for fungal diseases, especially in humid conditions. Ensure good air circulation and avoid wetting the foliage to minimize risks. With the right care, your passion bee flowers will soon become a thriving part of your garden, offering nectar to bees and adding vibrant colors and textures to your landscape. Enjoy the process and the beautiful results!
Best viewed @ large size Bromeliaceae - Endemic to Chile; Talca Province, Chile provenance of plant above Puya, Chagual Shown: Detail of flowers; petals to 5 cm long "Puya is a genus of the botanical family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Pitcairnioideae. These terrestrial plants are native to the Andes Mountains of South America and southern Central America. Many of the species are monocarpic, with the parent plant dying after one flower and seed production event. "The species Puya raimondii is notable as the largest species of bromeliad known, reaching 3 m tall in vegetative growth with a flower spike 9-10 m tall. The other species are also large, with the flower spikes mostly reaching 1-4 m tall. "The name 'Puya' was derived from the Mapuche Indian word meaning "point"."

The genus is quite large, comprising several hundred species that are native to warm temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. These species are renowned for their large, showy flowers and those species are commonly known simply as " Giant hibiscus", or less widely known as rose mallow. PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 1 -Soak the seeds in diluted hydrogen peroxide . A mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide may reduce the growth of mold on the seeds. Stir 1.5 teaspoons (7 mL) of 3% hydrogen peroxide into 1 cup (240 mL) water. Keep the rose seeds in this solution for at least one hour. 2- Place the seeds in a damp material. Rose seeds typically won't sprout unless they are kept in cold, wet conditions, mimicking a winter environment. Place the seeds between two layers of lightly dampened paper towels, or in a container of dampened salt-free river sand, peat moss, or vermiculite. This is the first step in a process called STRATIFICATION. 3- Leave the seeds in the fridge for 6-8 weeks. Put the seeds and moist material in a plastic bag or seedling tray in a plastic bag or seedling trays, and keep them in a cold area of a refrigerator, such as an otherwise empty crisper drawer. Do not keep them in the same area of the refrigerator as fruit or vegetables, which can release chemicals that prevent the seeds from developing. Keep the seed medium slightly damp. Add a few drops of water to each paper towel whenever they begin to dry out. 4 -Remove the seeds from the fridge. Try to do this around the time that the seed would normally start to germinate, such as in early spring. Make sure that the environment outside of the fridge is about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The seed will not sprout until you take them out of the fridge. Depending on the rose variety and individual seeds, the seeds could take anywhere from four to sixteen weeks to germinate. 5 -Fill a container with sterile seed starting mix. Small seedling starting trays make it easy to care for many seeds at once. Alternatively, use plastic drinking cups with a hole punched in the bottom, to make root growth easier to view. Regular soil is not recommended, as it may not drain well enough and cause the seedlings to rot. 6 -Plant the seeds. Plant with the sprout pointed downward, as this is the root. Sprouted seeds should emerge as seedlings within a week.Lightly cover them with soil, about ¼ inch (6 mm) deep.Space seeds at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart to minimize competition. 7-Kee
