Bignonia capreolata (Crossvine) is a vigorous, climbing perennial vine that thrives in moist, well-drained soils and adapts well to both full sun and part shade. Reaching heights of 36-50 feet, it features showy, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom from March to May in shades of brick red and yellow, attracting hummingbirds and providing an early nectar source. Its semi-evergreen, glossy leaves change from dark green to reddish-purple in winter, adding year-round interest. Bignonia capreolata can climb stone, brick, and fences using tendrils with adhesive pads, making it ideal for vertical landscapes and garden structures.
