If you’ve got a fence, trellis, or wall that could use a little life and color, Dressed to Thrill™ Crossvine is ready to climb—and wow! This North American native is an absolute bloom machine, covering vertical spaces with vibrant orange-red, trumpet-shaped flowers that glow with golden yellow throats. Blooming from spring all the way through summer, it’s a magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and anyone who walks by.

Its tendrils easily cling to sturdy structures, and once established, it’s impressively drought- and heat-tolerant—making it as tough as it is stunning. Whether you're replacing trumpet vine in cooler zones or simply looking to add a touch of wild whimsy to your garden, this semi-evergreen vine brings the drama in the best way possible.

Why we love it:

  • Long-lasting bloom period with tropical-looking flowers

  • Native to the U.S. and supports local pollinators

  • Climbs easily with tendrils and handles heat & drought with grace
