Distictis buccinatoria, commonly known as blood red trumpet vine, is a woody vine adapted to many summer-dry climate gardens. This vigorous vine features clusters of stunning red trumpet-shaped flowers that attract pollinators and add a pop of color to any landscape. Blood red trumpet vine can grow up to 20 feet in length and thrives in mediterranean climates with well-draining soil and full sun exposure.

Originating from Mexico, this plant is well-suited for hot, arid conditions and is drought-tolerant once established. It is ideal for covering fences, trellises, and arbors, creating a beautiful focal point in the summer garden. Blood red trumpet vine is a popular choice for hummingbird and butterfly gardens due to its nectar-rich flowers.
