'Tangerine Beauty' Crossvine (Bignonia capreolata) is a fiery, fast-growing evergreen vine that cloaks fences and walls in a living tapestry of glossy foliage and trumpet-shaped blooms in blazing shades of tangerine, apricot, and gold. A magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies, this drought-tolerant charmer erupts in spring with prolific flowers, then reblooms sporadically through summer and fall, especially after rains! Reaching 20–30 feet without damaging structures, it effortlessly scalesfences, pergolas, or slopes (as a groundcover), thriving where other vines struggle. Low-maintenance yet high-impact, its semi-evergreen leaves provide winter interest in mild climates, while its nectar-rich blossoms ensure a garden buzzing with life. Nature’s flame, indeed.
