Notes
'Atrosanguinea' cross vine (Bignonia capreolata 'Atrosanguinea') is a vine for pollinator gardens and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy or loamy soil. It climbs fast and reaches 15 to 30 feet tall. Fragrant, dark purplish-red flowers draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Woodbine, Switchgrass, and Spicebush.
