Crossvine

Crossvine is sometimes seen high in a tree, as the vine climbs by means of tendrils, allowing it to cling to stone, bricks and fences without support. Persistent, glossy, semi-evergreen leaves change from dark green in summer to reddish-purple in winter. Above ground stems are not reliably winter hardy throughout USDA Zone 5 where they may die to the ground in severe winters (roots are usually hardy therein and will sprout new growth the following spring.) Attracts bees, hummingbirds and butterflies.
