Bignonia capreolata (Crossvine) is one of my favorite native plants for attracting hummingbirds.

Here in the Central United States we see the incredible flush of blooms usually in April. We love sitting outside watching the hummers buzz along the vine!

This cute swing would be perfect in our back yard! 😉

Crossvine continues to bloom throughout the growing season, but there won’t be as many flowers at one time. In our area, these tend to be semi evergreen. Some leaves will drop and it may look a bit thin in the winter.

If you choose this plant for your garden, keep in mind it can grow up to 50 feet, so please give plenty of space. We have ours growing along a fence and then over a gate.
