Distictis buccinatoria (Bignonia cherere) Blood-Red Trumpet Vine - 15 Gallon

Distictis buccinatoria, also known as the Blood-Red Trumpet Vine or Bignonia cherere, is a climbing vine native to Mexico and Central America. It is a popular ornamental plant grown for its stunning, large and bright red flowers, which are shaped like trumpets and can grow up to 3 inches long.

The vine grows vigorously, and can reach up to 30 feet in height when trained on a trellis or other support. It has glossy, dark green leaves that provide a beautiful backdrop to the showy flowers. The flowers bloom in the spring and summer, and attract hummingbirds and other pollinators to the garden.

The Blood-Red Trumpet Vine is a low-maintenance plant that is easy to grow in full sun or partial shade, and can tolerate a wide range of soil types. It is drought-tolerant once established, but will benefit from regular watering in dry periods. Pruning can be done after flowering to control the size and shape of the vine.

The Distictis buccinatoria is a beautiful addition to any garden, especially for those who love vibrant colors and want to attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. It is often used to cover walls, fences, and trellises, or can be grown as a stand-alone plant. Its fast growth rate and hardy nature make it an excellent choice for a wide range of garden styles and conditions.
