Turn blank fences and pergolas into a glowing backdrop of color. Tangerine Beauty Crossvine blankets supports with glossy foliage and cascades of apricot-to-tangerine trumpets in spring, with scattered encore blooms into summer.

Hummingbirds zip to the flowers, the vine clings on its own with tiny tendrils, and the semi-evergreen leaves hold structure through mild winters—so your vertical spaces stay lively long after the main show.

Tangerine Beauty Crossvine Care

Plant in a sunny spot for the heaviest bloom (it will flower in partial shade, but full sun turns up the volume). Use well-drained soil amended with compost; this vine is forgiving of clay, loam, or sand once established. Water regularly the first season to build deep roots, then switch to occasional deep soakings during prolonged dry spells.

A 2–3" mulch ring helps moderate soil moisture and temperature—keep mulch a few inches off the stems. Feed lightly in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer if growth appears lean; too much nitrogen favors leaves over flowers.

Train young shoots onto your support and tie loosely as needed; once attached, the vine climbs on its own. Prune right after peak spring bloom to shape, thin, or keep within bounds—avoid hard cuts late in the season.

Generally pest-free and deer-resistant; semi-evergreen to evergreen in warm zones, deciduous in colder areas (roughly USDA Zones 6–9, with some success in favored Zone 5 sites).

Tangerine Beauty Crossvine Spacing

At maturity, expect long, trainable canes reaching 20–30+ feet. For fence or trellis coverage, plant 6–10 feet apart on center; tighten to 4–6 feet where you want a fast, solid wall of color. Give 12–18 inches from the base of a fence, wall, or arbor to allow air flow and easy training.

In large containers, use one plant per 20–24"+ pot with a sturdy obelisk or trellis, and place planters 2–3 feet apart for access and pruning.
