Nursery contributed plant descriptions

It is a large flowered crossvine from Texas. The effect of the individual larger flowers can be quite stunning!

By: Brushwood Nursery

Texas big blooms are a hallmark of this rich orange flowered crossvine. This is an absolute show stopper when in full bloom! Produces a huge mass of 2-1/2" orange trumpets with yellow throats in late spring with some blooms throughout summer. A vigorous and disease free southern native. 'Helen Fredel' is another excellent introduction from Greg Grant at Stephen F. Austin University. Item# 9576.
