Trumpet Vine

Description

Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans), also known as Trumpet Creeper or Cow Itch Vine, is a fast-growing climbing plant known for its vibrant, trumpet-shaped orange or red flowers. These blooms attract hummingbirds and other pollinators, making it a favorite among garden enthusiasts. The vine grows rapidly and can easily cover trellises, fences, or walls, providing a lush and colorful landscape feature. Its flowering season is typically summer to early autumn, offering months of bright floral display.

The Trumpet Vine thrives in full sunlight but can tolerate partial shade. It prefers well-drained soil but is highly adaptable and can grow in various conditions. Due to its vigorous growth, it can become invasive if not managed properly. Regular pruning is recommended to control its spread and encourage healthy growth. This hardy vine is drought-tolerant once established and ideal for vertical gardening, especially for creating shaded areas or covering unsightly structures.
