Bignonia capreolata 'Tangerine cross vine'
Cross Vine is a fast-growing, woody self-climbing vine with a profusion of fragrant, trumpet-shaped flowers that are two inches long and grow in bright shades of orange, yellow, or red. This is regarded as one of the most floriferous of the vining plants, being practically smothered in large clusters of 2-5 blossoms in mid-spring through summer. They are a particular favorite of hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinators. This vine is native to the southeastern and south-central United States. A cross-section of its stem reveals the conducting wood forming a cross, hence the common name.
Plant on fences, arbors, trellis, or poles. Remove root suckers to prevent encroachment.

PLANT VARIATIONS

DOMESTIC USA SHIPPING
Our horticulture experts will determine if the plant needs to be shipped in soil, based on the particular species, size, and your hardiness zone. In general, agaves, cacti, and succulents will be shipped without soil, called “bare root.” (see below) We will find the best freight carrier to your address. While our top priority is a healthy, happy plant delivery, unfortunately, we have no control over how carriers handle our packages, nor where they are dropped off.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
All plants shipped beyond the USA mainland, including Alaska and Puerto Rico, will be shipped “bare root.” (see below) All plants shipped internationally, including Puerto Rico, require a Phytosanitary Certificate from the US Department of Agriculture.
Add the Phytosanitary certificate to your cart
Please check with your local customs department to see if you need any additional certifications, such as import permits. Note: while we have extensive experience and a track record of successful international plant shipments, we are unable to guarantee the plants' condition upon arrival.
BARE ROOT SHIPPING
This process simplifies shipping by dramatically decreasing the package weight, which keeps the cost of shipping as low as possible.
Customer Reviews
I live way up north so I don’t know what I was thinking when I ordered this cross vine. It just so happened that when it was being shipped we got a very cold, cold snap. I wasn’t expecting it to look good and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived and was wrapped in layers and layers of reflective bubble wrap and plastic wrap. It also came with a sticker and the cutest card :) I untangled the vines, watered it and set it in a sunny window and it is thriving! It is already putting out a ton of new growth and is even blooming. Highly recommend Happy Valley Plants and will buy from them in the future.
Greetings Haley,
Aww, we are so glad your cross vine arrived in good shape. We take every plant order seriously, like the plants are our children, because they kind of are. We also monitor the weather forecasts across the country this time of year, and pack our plants with whatever care they may need to arrive safe depending on where they are headed. Sometimes, mother nature causes temporary shipping postponements during the winter, but we do our best to get orders out asap. Thank you for your order and taking the time to let us know your plant arrived in good shape and is now doing well in your care. We appreciate you! - Dan@happyvalleyplants
