Crossvine
Bignonia capreolata
In the United States:
Native
· also called crossvine, trumpet flower
Honeybees forage on crossvine for its large quantities of nectar and moderate pollen supplies, making it a valuable early-season resource. Blooms peak from April to May within the March-June window, supporting colonies as other sources are limited. This fast-growing vine climbs fences and arbors but may need occasional pruning to prevent overgrowth.
