The Robust Cross  Vine in Texas

Cross Vine Early April for shaded vine.

The hardy and prolific Cross Vine blooms in sun or shade in Texas.  It does need at least a bit of sun.  The full sun located vine will begin blooming in early March.  Shaded vines bloom about two to three weeks later.  It is obviously a member of the Trumpet-Creeper.  After the bloom face you are left with a lovely green fine.  It is hardy and found growing wild in some areas of Texas, predominantly east Texas.
