- Description
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.
