TRUMPET VINE - A LONG-FLOWERING EASILY GROWN FROST HARDY VINE WITH SPECTACULAR BLOOMS GENUS CAMPSIS RADICANS
Campsis radicans, commonly known as the Trumpet Creeper or Hummingbird Vine, is a fast growing, high climbing deciduous woody vine that will grow to heights up to 12.2 m. Campsis radicans is native to the southeastern and Gulf Coast region of the United States.

Trumpet creeper produces pinnate compound leaves 10 to 30 cm in length that cover the vine in a dense cloak of bright green foliage. They are composed of 7 to 15 oval leaflets that have serrated edges and are 2 to 10 cm long and 1 to 3 cm wide. The vine's aerial roots that occur along the stems that attach tightly to surfaces. Once the vine climbs to a certain height it grows horizontal branches that reach away from the support in a quest for light and space.

Showy clusters of red trumpet-shaped flowers first appear in spring or summer (earler in frost free climates) and are produced continuously until early autumn. The tubular flower buds are 7 to 10 cm long and are followed by seed capsules 10 to 20 cm long that often hang on the vine through the winter.

This easily grown vine has been cultivated in North America since Colonial times. It is best used in woodland gardens and natural areas where it has space to grow. It will quickly cover fences and other structures and keeping it in bounds may require some effort on your part - especially in fertile soils. In frost free areas growth is rampant and the vines should be cut back in winter to keep the vine in bounds. The vines also sucker freely from the roots and these can be managed with lawn mower and shears during the summer.
.
It's easy to grow trumpet creeper on arbors but remember that the aerial roots use a powerful adhesive substance to cement themselves to supports which almost certain to ruin paint surfaces. Trumpet vine is not recommended for planting near structures.

Trumpet creeper is one of the best plants for attracting nectar seeking birds to your garden as it produces quantities of nectar rich blossoms all summer long.

Full sun or shade with best flowering in sun. It prefers rich moist soil but is adaptable to less than optimal situations.
It is frost hardy.
