Any ideas where I can get seeds or plants for crossvine. Can't seem
to find any locally or on the Internet either.

Thanks,

Any thoughts? Don't particularly care for clematis but would like something
that has bright flowers that can be seen from a distance. Evergreen is a
plus. Anyone know trumpet vine or Confederate jasmine? What conditions do
they like?

Carolina Jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens) is an outstanding evergreen
vine - covered with bright yellow fragrant flowers in early spring.

Trumpet Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) is somewhat evergreen and
has brilliant red tube-shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds. A
yellow variety is also available. No fragrance.

Crossvine (Bignonia capreolata) is another nice evergreen with
hummingbird-attracting flowers that range from orange to yellow,
depending on variety.

Trumpet Creeper (Campsis radicans) is deciduous, but great if you have
an area you want to naturalize (and don't mind the vine taking over).

Confederate Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) is evergreen and
normally survives here, with small fragrant flowers.
