The Trumpet Vine Plant, Campsis radicans, is a vigorous, fast-growing, woody vine renowned for its dramatic summer flowers. Native to the southeastern United States, this perennial climber uses aerial rootlets to cling to almost any surface. Its robust and aggressive growth makes it a powerful vertical element, capable of covering large structures and providing a lush, green canopy.

The plant’s main attraction is its spectacular clusters of large, trumpet-shaped flowers. These showy blooms are typically a brilliant reddish-orange, with yellow and scarlet varieties also existing. Emerging in abundance from mid-summer, the flowers are a magnet for pollinators, especially hummingbirds, who are drawn to their shape and nectar. The vibrant blossoms create a stunning, cascading display.

Trumpet Vine is exceptionally tough and low-maintenance, thriving in full sun and tolerating a range of soil types. Due to its vigorous nature, it requires a very sturdy support system and regular pruning to manage its size. While it can be aggressive, its rapid growth provides quick cover and beauty, making it an excellent choice for gardeners who want a dramatic, flowering vine with powerful impact.
