Description
Trumpetvine (Campsis radicans) is a fast-growing, highly vigorous deciduous vine prized for its bold scarlet trumpet-shaped blooms that appear from early summer through early fall. These flowers, with orange overtones and yellow throats, are a magnet for hummingbirds and add vibrant color to fences, arbors, and trellises. This aggressive climber can grow several feet in a single season, making it an ideal choice for quickly covering large vertical spaces.
Known for its adaptability, Trumpetvine thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates a wide range of soil types, including poor soils. Its twining and trailing growth habit is dense and lush, with large, serrated dark green leaves that turn yellow in fall. While it requires regular maintenance to keep its vigorous growth in check, it’s relatively deer resistant and a reliable source of late-season garden interest.
Each plant comes in a #2 (2 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
