Distictis
buccinatoria * Blood Red Trumpet Vine, Mexican Blood Vine
|
| Distictis buccinatoria is
a beautiful red or orange flowered vine. The Blood Red Trumpet vine
grows rapidly and can easily grow to 30 feet in length. Distictis
buccinatoria will persist with a little frost but if temperatures dip into
the mid 20's there will be substantial damage. Distictis
buccinatoria requires support, either cables or a sturdy trellis will
work. The Mexican Blood Vine will persist with amazingly few
resources once they are established. Distictis buccinatoria prefers
good soil and a South facing exposure with regular water. I have
seen them bloom with North exposures, somehow surviving in 12 inch square
parking lot cutouts.
