In Spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.” Margaret Atwood

Add Some Passion to Your Garden!

Passion Vine, or May Pops as its known in its native Southeast, is a vigorous climber with an exotic bloom that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies.  Since its such a fast grower, we use it to cover the east end of our porch in the summer to provide shade from the sun while allowing the breeze to sweep through the porch.  With a simple and CHEAP trellis system, it was an inexpensive way to get some relief from the heat and attract wildlife for some close viewing.  Hope you enjoy the video and maybe you’ll be inspired to get passion-ate!
