Looking to cover a fence, trellis, or arbor with color fast? Dressed to Thrill® Crossvine delivers with vigor and style. This North American native is a fast-growing, tendril-climbing vine that bursts into bloom from spring through summer with large, trumpet-shaped flowers in fiery orangey-red tones. Bright yellow throats act as bullseyes for hummingbirds and butterflies, turning your vertical space into a pollinator hotspot.
Unlike some aggressive climbers, this beauty grows with purpose—not chaos. It thrives in a wide range of soils, as long as they drain well, and shrugs off heat and drought like a pro. Its vines become woody with age, so a sturdy structure is best from the start—or plan to provide extra support over time.
With its bold color, wildlife appeal, and no-fuss adaptability, Dressed to Thrill™ gives your garden an instantly lush, established look—without the headaches.
- 12-30 feet tall and 6-9 feet wide at maturity
- Hardy in zones 6-9, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
- Plant in part to full sun (4+ hours daily)
- Space plants 6-9 feet apart for best results
- Produces orangey-red trumpet shaped flowers with yellow eyes from spring to summer
- Maintains green foliage year round
- Blooms on new and old wood
- Attracts hummingbirds and butterflies
- Great for containers, borders, edges, screening, landscapes, mass planting or as a focal point
- Evergreen, non-invasive, drought tolerant, heat tolerant, long blooming, native to North America
Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners® Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer. May be sheared or shaped if desired. Needs little to no pruning. If you do wish to prune or trim, the best time to do that is in late spring/early summer, after the first flowers have faded. Crossvine produces flowers on both old and new wood, so pruning at any other time risks the appearance of blooms.
