Q&A – Will a cross vine hurt my azaleas?

Question:
I found a Cross vine growing in my George Taber azaleas. It is very beautiful. Will it hurt my azaleas if I leave it?
​
Answer: 
The plant won’t hurt the azaleas directly, but it is an aggressive grower and will grow and shade them out. It is probably best to choose one or the other, they are both beautiful plants. If you are willing to work at it, you may be able to keep the cross vine in check and have both.
