Also called Trumpet Vine, Foxglove Vine, and Devil’s Shoestring, this is a high-climbing, woody vine with aerial rootlets that allow it to climb and aggressively spread. It produces fruit pods up to 6 inches long, and waxy, orange to reddish-orange flowers that are broadly trumpet-shaped, clustered at the branch ends, and very attractive to hummingbirds. This perennial can climb up to 35 feet in height, and does best in full sun and in various dry to moist, well-drained soils, from sandy to limestone-based.
