plant sale text:Cross-vine is a fast-growing, high-climbing vine with beautiful 2-3 inch trumpet-shaped reddish-orange flowers every spring. The color and shape of the flowers make them a favorite of hummingbirds. Cross-vine is adaptable to a range of growing conditions and, once established, is tolerant of dry soils. When planted at the base of a pine tree or on a fence or trellis, Cross-vine will climb to find sunlight.
