Dressed to Thrill Crossvine Bignonia Capreolata Qt

Dressed To Thrill crossvine (Bignonia capreolata) is colorful, extremely floriferous, and amazingly adaptable! This selection of our North American native crossvine transforms fences, walls, and trellises into a wall of flowers, climbing structures by tendrils. Orange-red trumpet-shaped flowers with bright yellow eyes enliven landscapes from spring through summer and provide a welcome food source for hummingbirds. Native from Ohio down to Texas, this semi-evergreen vine is adaptable to most any soil and exhibits excellent heat and drought tolerance. 

Dressed to Thrill crossvine can make a welcome alternative to trumpet vine (Campsis radicans), especially in cooler climates where it will be less rambunctious but still attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Climbs by tendrils, so will require a sturdy support with texture and/or smaller pieces so that it can successfully ascend the structure.
