Crossvine
Bignonia capreolata
Crossvine is a perennial, evergreen vine that can bloom late winter through spring through mid summer. Crossvine’s red tubular flowers are an important food source for hummingbirds but also attracts butterflies and other pollinators. It can be grown in full shade or full sun, is cold hardy, drought tolerant and prefers moist soils that are well-drained. It can be controlled if planted on a trellis or in an large container, but can also be planted at the base of large trees like native Live Oak to add flowers to the tree branches and protection for songbirds from birds of prey.
