These bright flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies, and bloom in the spring and early summer. Native to North America, it is a vigorous climber and climbs by tendrils, so be sure to have a well-structured trellis, wall, or vertical support system for this plant. Dressed to Thrill™ Bignonia can reach a maximum height of 12-30 feet and a maximum width of 6-9 feet. Hardy in zones 6-9, it grows best in full sun to part shade locations and in well-drained soil.
