Crossvine

Bignonia capreolata

Crossvine is one of the best vines for southeast gardens with beautiful blooms and evergreen foliage. It clings/twines by tendrils that have a small disk that cement themselves to wood or masonry allowing it to climb without the damage that vines like English ivy cause to structures. Its trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of red and yellow attract hummingbirds and appear in late spring. An excellent choice for screening and shade when grown on a variety of structures.  It is tolerant of a wide variety of soils and sun exposure but does best in full or part sun and good garden soil.
