Description
A vigorous vine unrivaled in flower power, the Tangerine Beauty Crossvine is an easy-to-grow floriferous North American native vine that quickly covers fences (from top to bottom), arbors and other structures without being invasive. LOADS of fragrant bright orange-red trumpet flowers with yellow throats put on a stunning color show in spring then reblooming in summer and fall. In our central Georgia gardens, some years it seems to bloom continuously spring to frost! The dense foliage consisting of attractive, oblong leaves remain evergreen turning reddish-purple in fall in the deep South zones 8b to 9b with subsequent leaf drop in the northern regions zones 6a to 7b.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing up to 30 feet in height or length (however tall or long the support structure) and 4 feet or more in width, the Tangerine Beauty Crossvine is ideal for use to climb on and cover fences (from top to bottom!), or to cover a trellis, arch, arbor, pergola or any other structure that might benefit from or support the flowering vine. Rather than grow along just the top of a fence, the vines cascade all the way down to the ground to entirely cover the fence. A fine addition to hummingbird and butterfly gardens, tropical look gardens, orange theme gardens, and the Xeriscape (low water needs).
Suggested Spacing:Â 4 to 6 feet apart to covers fencesÂ
Growing Preferences
The Tangerine Beauty Crossvine is exceptionally easy to grow in most any average, moist but well-drained soil of average to low fertility. It grows in full sun or shade, however flowers heavier with more sun. We recommend at least 6 hours of direct sunlight for full flowering. Plants are quite drought tolerant when established. Pruning isn’t necessary, however the vines can be pruned after flowering to keep tidy.Â

I have ordered several plants from Wilson Bros. All have arrived in good shape and are doing well after being planted. The two tangerine beauty crossvines continue that trend! I think I ordered them on a Thursday and they arrived on Monday. They were even blooming when they arrived. It was too cold here to plant them right away, so I kept them in my garage, with natural light, until they were planted this past Monday. They are looking good and I hope to have beautiful continuous blooms until frost. I have had very good experiences with Wilson Bros! Thanks!———————————————–You’re welcome! Thanks for the kind words and awesome review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Every word in the description of this gorgeous plant is true! It arrived in short order and was packaged superbly! Once we got it opened up, it was a BIG, healthy and blooming! Followed the instructions for planting. We’ve had it for a couple months and the growth is spectacular! It’s a little more than twice the size when we got it. Hummingbirds love it and we love Hummingbirds! A few nurseries around my area but we’ll only purchase plants for our property from Wilson Brothers Gardens from here forward! A few extra dollars beats a mile of frustration any day! Thank you WB’s for what and how you do it!————————Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG
This is a beautiful healthy well tended plant and we are already enjoying it only three weeks after getting it! Thanks Wilson Bros! Great plant, great price, great delivery!
I planted it the day after I received it from UPS. Less than a week it was putting new growth and flowering several blooms. ——————— WBG Reply: Hi Darryle! Thanks so much for your review of the Tangerine Beauty Crossvine and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Good to hear it’s greening up nicely and already blooming for you. Just wait until the vine has matured some…you’ll be blown away with the plethora of flowers!

This was my first purchase from Wilson Brothers, and I am thrilled! I ordered a 3-gallon crossvine, and received a large beautiful plant, packaged perfectly for shipping. The plant is in some stage of dormancy, which is what I wanted, so that it would have time to adjust to NC weather before springtime. My questions to customer service were quickly and thoroughly answered. I’ll definitely be ordering from Wilson Brothers again. Thank you!——————————————Hi Ann, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Tangerine Beauty Crossvine Bignonia.

Plant arrived in GREAT!! shape. The vine itself, was much larger than expected. Package was amazing. It survived shipping to south Texas, and looked like it would have survived several trips around the world. Hopefully, the vine will quickly grow tall enough to be out of reach of the deer.———————————-Hi Ron, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Tangerine Beauty Crossvine Bignonia.

Purchased a new home in December of 2018 that needed an extensive landscaping overhaul. I purchased my plants from Wilson Bros and been very happy with the quality of each of the plants. This vine is no exception to that it showed up in excellent condition. It is planted now and has gone into shock but I have no doubt it will be beautiful once it gets over the shock. Will definitely keep purchasing from Wilson Bros. Best online nursery I have found and trust me I have shopped at quite a few of them. Always go back to Wilson Bros.—————————————-Hi Mary, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Tangerine Beauty Crossvine Bignonia.

Two of my Tangerine beauties got stuck at UPS over Labor Day. I was quite concerned as we have had major heat here. They were packed expertly and suffered no damage in the UPS delay. Both still had plenty of moisture in the cans. I was thinking I might not have blooms for a year or two but to my delight there were buds on each plant. These Tangerine Beauties are replacing a previous vine and these are so gorgeous! Just the leaves alone are a beauty to behold. I’m very excited to watch them climb and saturate in flowers. I’ve ordered many plants from Wilson Bros and every one has arrived in such amazing condition. I am very pleased and I highly recommend Wilson Bros to turn a boring garden into a blooming paradise. Their customer service is excellent in an era where Customer Service seems to be a thing of the past. Don’t forget to browse their advice page, so much useful information on so many concerns to achieve your garden of dreams. —————— WBG Reply: Hi Amber – Thanks so much for your and review of the Tangerine Beauty Crossvines and the compliments! Isn’t it amazing that plants can be shipped all the way across the country even in the heat of summer and still suffer no damage? We like to think it has a lot to do with our packaging process:-) We hope you enjoy these magnificent vines for years to come. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with. We’re at your service! – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens
Nice big well leafed vines with multiple healthy branches. We planted in in Feb and has survived a couple weeks of below 32 weather. Looking forward to warm days when it will bloom. Large enough at delivery to go to 3rd board of a three-board fence. ——————— WBG Reply: Hi Charlotte – Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review and for the compliments. I think Bignonia is one of if not the most underused flowering vines. I absolutely love the ones in my garden, which do an excellent job of covering an unsightly chained link fence. Mine have survived 3 degree F temperatures. Hope you enjoy yours for years to come. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with. – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens
I am very happy with my plant. It arrived in great shape, I planted it soon after, it appears to be thriving. Very good service, I am very pleased.
I bought this to run up a freestanding trellis to block a neighbor’s view into my kitchen. It’s great! Kept some leaves all winter. Have yet to see the blooms…maybe this year.
It was just beautiful
the packaging was great, the plant came through in good shape, it is still blooming.
