How to grow crossvine
Bignonia capreolata
When to plant crossvine
Crossvine is a vigorous tendril-climbing native vine that blooms early, in late winter to early spring (NC State), with orange-to-red trumpet flowers that are an important early food for hummingbirds. Plant in spring or fall on a sturdy support; it blooms on new wood, and flower production improves with more sun.
Crossvine is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
