Welcome to PASSION ALLEY...
a special section of Wuv'n Acres



PASSION FLOWER / MAYPOP Passiflora incarnata 20+ seeds - $2.50. What an amazing bloom. You'll want to visit our Passion Flower Page for many more pictures and loads of information. Absolutely amazing flower is so bizarre you'll think it's artificial, but oh no, it's quite real, and quite fragrant! Bring on the bees with this one. The fragrance and the blooms...I can't decide which wins. Requires stratification, but easily accomplished by keeping the seeds in the refrigerator until spring or planting in the fall in warmer zones. Give it full sun and regular well-drained water for a perennial show your neighbor's can't beat.

If you have one of those neighbors who is always trying to outdo you in the garden, try growing this one!



This is just one of the color variations we grow here at Wuv'n Acres
It is only one of over 400 species of Passiflora.

What is a Passion Vine?
It is a deciduous and very fast growing temperate perennial vine with the most beautiful flowers you've ever seen.
Sporting tendril covered vines up to twelve foot long,
it holds on tight and exhibits a scent you will never forget.

An added bonus to growing this plant
are the beautiful butterflies your neighbor will see in your garden
including the Gray Hairstreak.

In varied shades of lavendar and white, there are ten sepals, or petals.
The corona, or zig-zagged frilly edge, is a sight to see.
Though native to the southeastern region of the United States,
Passion Vine, also known as Maypop, Passion Flower and Apricot Vine.
This beauty prefers to be in full or mostly full sun.
A trellis is much appreciated for it's climbing and twisting tendencies.

Our seeds are cold stored after harvest to ensure better germination rates.



The annual frost will kill it back to the ground, but have no fear,
if you are in zones 6-9 it will gladly appear next spring.
How many complaints in our years and years on Ebay? Three.
Guess you can't make everyone happy, but we try.

Our home based nursery is growing each and every day,
and we are thankful for the many repeat customers we have!

Thank you for visiting PASSION ALLEY


Goodbye...Thank you for looking!
