The maroon flower of the Lady Margaret Passion vine here to the left, is gorgeous, and this vine is a great host for Butterflies. She loves sun and blooms nearly all year round. Rarely does she get eaten up by caterpillars but they are known to munch a few holes in them, but it won't hurt !

The Passion Vine "incense" has a truly magnificent flower with frilly edges and the flowers smells quite sumptious. Used as a host plant for butterflies, she is is known for her hardiness of growth. Depending on the type of winter we have, she may go dormant for a while in cool weather, but will spring back right up as soon as warmth returns. $ 20

"Epies" as we like to call them, are one of Mitch's favorite plants ! Known for it's hardiness and ease of care, they put out spectacular tall flower stems that the bees and butterflies love. Typically called "ground orchids", they will thrive in-ground, or in a tall pot. All they want is sun sun sun and very little water. The specimens here that Mitch is holding are "tied up" around the top when we carry or load them to protect them. You can plant, and leave tied up, or you can cut the ties, and the stems will fall splay out like water fountain. The orange flowering type is the most common, but we also carry the Red-flowering type which is rare.

Quite hardy, Epies can last years, and you can take cuttings from the white roots from it's base and along the leaf stems to share with others.
