Maypop

Passiflora incarnata
In the United States: Native · also called maypop, purple passionflower, wild passion vine

Honeybees visit maypop vines for nectar and pollen, offering a reliable mid-summer forage source in open areas. Peak bloom aligns with July through August, when flowers are most abundant for foragers. The vigorous perennial vine spreads via roots and benefits from trellising to enhance bee access, though it's generally not invasive in its native range.
