This Woodlanders introduction is a semi-evergreen vine related to our native Crossvine (Bignonia capreolata). It is somewhat similar and climbs with tendrils, but has white flowers. We collected this in Cordoba Province, Argentina and it has proven to be well-adapted and ornamental vine here in Aiken, South Carolina. Best planted on a fence or trellis in a sunny location with well-drained soil.
