Including Campsis radicans varieties Flava and Red Sunset

Campsis

Trumpet Creeper

Robust, rich and rampant, this eastern American native provides a living screen festooned each summer with richly colored blossoms that resemble flaring trumpets. A beacon to hummingbirds, Campsis are tolerant of almost any conditions, but flourish in sunny spots with moist, well drained soil. To encourage a lavish show and control its shape, prune hard in wintertime.

Medium Band.

Campsis radicans Flava

The pendulous clusters of 3 in. long, richly yellow trumpets, each extruding prominent curved stamens, shine against lustrous, dark green compound leaves defined by seven to eleven coarsely toothed leaflets. When the weather cools, foliage mellows to yellow-green and blooms give way to podlike capsules of winged seeds.

Easily ascending by self-clinging aerial roots, ‘Flava’ casts its cheerful accents upon fences, pergolas or walls.

Blooms July–September.

Size: 25'–35' high & spreading; hardy to zone 4.
