crossvine

Native American vine

Crossvine is a woody climbing vine native to the southeastern United States, named for the cross-shaped pattern visible when its stem is cut.

It produces clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers, typically orange-red with yellow throats, and climbs by tendrils.

The plant is valued in gardens for attracting hummingbirds.
