Description / Bignonia Dressed to Thrill® Crossvine
Bignonia Dressed to Thrill® Crossvine is a native climbing vine that brings long lasting color, adaptability, and habitat friendly charm to vertical spaces. From spring through summer, vivid orange red trumpet shaped blooms with bright yellow eyes cover the vine, attracting hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Native from Ohio to Texas, it thrives in a wide range of soils and climates and continues to add visual interest well into fall and winter.
This semi evergreen vine grows vigorously, reaching heights of 12 to 30 feet and spreading 6 to 9 feet wide. It climbs effortlessly by tendrils, transforming fences, arbors, trellises, or unsightly walls into a floral tapestry. Its dark green foliage provides a rich backdrop to the blooms and turns purplish in colder months, enhancing its four season appeal.
Bignonia Dressed to Thrill® is highly heat and drought tolerant once established, making it a low maintenance choice for southern and mid Atlantic landscapes. As a member of the Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrubs collection, this selection was bred for exceptional flower coverage, strong garden performance, and adaptability.
Use this bold native vine for vertical gardening, screening, or as a flowering focal point in wildlife gardens. Its fast growth, pollinator support, and ease of care make it a standout in sunny or lightly shaded areas.
