Crossvine
« Carolina jessamine | Trumpet creeper »
Crossvine (Bignonia capreolata) is a native semi-evergreen to evergreen woody vine that can climb a trellis using its tendrils or cling to smooth walls with its small disks. Its season of glory is in spring when large clusters of bright tubular flowers make a spectacular display for several weeks. 'Tangerine Beauty' is a show-stopping version that sometimes sporadically reblooms later in the season, but it doesn't have the fragrance of the species. The vine needs full sun in order to develop thick foliage. Eventual height depends in part on its support--anywhere from 15 to 50 feet is usual. USDA Zones (5) 6 to 9.
