This climbing, woody vine attracts hummingbirds, butterflies, and even deer with its large, trumpet-shaped, orange-red flowers that hang in clusters of two to five. The vine climbs by means of clawed tendrils that allow it to cling to surfaces like stone, brick, and fences without any support. It has glossy, semi-evergreen leaves that change from dark green in the summer to reddish-purple in the winter. Crossvine can reach up to 50 feet long in full sun to partial shade, and in dry to moist, well-drained soils.
