'Tangerine Beauty' cross vine

'Tangerine Beauty' cross vine (Bignonia capreolata 'Tangerine Beauty') Genus:  Bignonia

A better-behaved cousin to the less-than-polite trumpet vine, cross vine is a colorful solution for a fence or arbor with afternoon shade. Although this east Texas native is slow to establish, ‘Tangerine Beauty’ sports brighter, showier flowers than other cultivars and will reward your patience with loads of orange blooms in both spring and fall. Flowers bloom on old wood, so prune this vine immediately only after blooms fade. -Leslie Finical Halleck, Fine Gardening #147 (October 2012), page 74

Care: 

Flowers on old wood, so only prune immediately after flowering.
