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.
