The Crossvine is found throughout the southeastern part of the country, from Missouri to Eastern Texas to Florida to Maryland to southern Illinois. Crossvine is found in rich woods, swamps, fencerows, and roadsides. The Crossvine may grow 50 or more feet long and uses its tendrils to attach its self to trees or fences or through the tops of thickets. The leaves are semi-evergreen, opposite, compound with two basal, leaflets with a branched tendril between the two leaves. This beautiful specimen is a easily grown flowering vine that adapts to almost any soil profile, making for a easy choice of plant to grow! (USDA Zones 5-9)
