Trumpet Creeper
Campsis radicans
Also known as: Trumpet Vine
Massive clusters of glowing orange-to-red trumpet flowers open continuously from midsummer through fall, serving as a premier nectar source for ruby-throated hummingbirds. A high-climbing, woody native vine that grips surfaces with aerial rootlets and spreads vigorously via root suckers. Provide a sturdy arbor or trellis and plant away from delicate structures.
