Products > Distictis buccinatoria   Distictis buccinatoria - Red Trumpet Vine     [2nd Image] Habit and Cultural Information Category: Vine Family: Bignoniaceae (Bignonias) Origin: Mexico (North America) Evergreen: Yes Flower Color: Orange Red Bloomtime: Spring/Summer Synonyms: [Bignonia cherere, Amphilophium buccinatorium] Height: Climbing (Vine) Width: Spreading Exposure: Sun or Shade Irrigation (H2O Info): Medium Water Needs Winter Hardiness: 20-25° F Distictis buccinatoria (Red Trumpet Vine) - This is a fast growing evergreen vine reaching 30 feet tall. It has green somewhat-leathery 4 inch long leaves with tendrils that form disks so it can climb fences and structures. The showy orange red trumpet flowers with yellowish throats are abundant throughout the warm months. Plant in full sun to part shade and water occasionally in the summer. It is hardy and evergreen to about 25 degrees F. If it is well established, it should regenerate from the roots if it freezes down to the ground - our plants regenerated completely after the tops froze in 1990 freeze when temperatures dipped to 18° F. This plant native to Mexico and cultivated worldwide has long been known as Bignonia cherere, later as Phaedranthus buccinatorius and more recently as Distictis buccinatoria. The current name, according to The Plant List, the collaborative authoritative listing by Kew Botanic Garden and Missouri Botanic Garden, is Amphilophium buccinatorium. We will continue to list this plant as Distictis buccinatoria until such time as this name change has wider acceptance.  Information displayed on this page about  Distictis buccinatoria is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.     [MORE INFO]
