Market price from $3.90 to $14.25

Bignonia capreolata is more commonly known as Crossvine, an extraordinary climber that effortlessly takes center stage in any landscape. With its capacity to grow an impressive 50 feet, this semi-evergreen vine exhibits vigor and resilience, transforming architectural structures, trellises, fences or naturalized areas into spectacles of vivid color and texture. Its glossy, dark green foliage strikes a pleasant contrast against walls and trellises, and takes an artistic turn come fall, when its leaves radiate with reddish-purple hues. Spring and summer trumpet-like blooms oscillate between a radiant red-orange and striking yellow, producing a cascade of color that draws the eye and stirs the heart. In addition to each of these beguiling characteristics, Crossvine has a water-wise nature, thriving in full sun to partial shade and moderate water usage. But beauty is not its only benefit – this vine also acts as a hummingbird magnet, adding a captivating wildlife component to its long list of charms. Drawing on its southern heritage, Bignonia capreolata’s adaptation to various conditions and its breathtaking ornamental features make it a highly coveted choice in the realm of landscaping.
