Coral vine is part of the buckwheat family, it blooms longer, is completely edible, and grows vertically for more nectar per acre.The vine is self managing, it freezes back to the ground each year .I believe it is the highest in nectar per acre in florida.
Welp, fall approaching and I have to say for a first year experimenting with buckwheat, it was very easy and rewarding! That stuff grows very fast and anywhere. I mulched the grown stems and planted it on the grass so pollinators will hopefully get a nice amount of pollen and nectar from fully grown buckwheat by mid-September and before the October frost in zone 5b. Personally, it's the best all-purpose plant!
Southern exposure seed exchange sells it in small amounts and in bulk. If you need huge amounts, you can buy from green cover seed. They ship in 50 pound bags on up.

That's a beautiful video I really enjoyed it and I'm going to plant buckwheat in my Garden this year thank you for sharing
I bought a 1 kg bag of buckwheat and I just can't wait for the warmer season to plant it.
