Cross Vine

17 years ago

What months could I expect cross vine to bloom in South Ga. I have 6 cross vines, 6 coral honeysuckle,25 mimosa,5 shrimp plants,a lot of trumpet vine and several other red blooming bushes. I would like to have blooms for them while they are here. Red

Crossvine blooms in May here in Delaware--you should have blooms at least by early may there, maybe earlier.

Thank you Vicki. If you trim cross vine back will it bloom on the new wood or does it only bloom on old wood. Red

From what I have read it blooms on new wood. I only planted mine this spring so I don't have much experience with it yet.
