Tangerine Beauty Crossvine

Tangerine Beauty Crossvine is a native perennial vine usually found in East Texas in forested areas and various places in West Texas. Its tendrils grow claws at the tips which makes this woody vine climb well. Watch this crossvine cling to fences and walls without any help!

Tangerine Beauty Crossvine is a semi-evergreen plant. Its leaves are usually 4-6 inches long and 2 inches wide. Although their foliage in the summer thrives to a glossy, dark green color, they can fluctuate to a more reddish color after frost. In areas with mild winters, the vine will keep its leaves and will be ready to continue growing and flower when warmer weather arrives. This is a good characteristic for a vine which is planted to cover arbors and provide shade quickly. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, requiring only occasional pruning to remove unwanted growth. This vine is attractive to pollinators.

Tangerine Beauty Crossvine can grow up to 50 feet long, perfect to cover a fence, sturdy trellis or arbor! It does grow quite vigorously, but it doesn’t sneak onto your entire landscape and try to take over the neighborhood like its relative, the Trumpet Vine. This colorful beauty does best in full sun, but can tolerate partial shade, although there will be fewer flowers. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but is able to survive standing water for short periods of time. It thrives in many different soil conditions, preferring a near-neutral pH. The vine may be propagated from stem, root cuttings or from seeds.
