Trumpet vine (Campsis Radicans), also known as trumpet Creeper or hummingbird vine, is a fast and high climbing perennial vine that is very easy to grow. Its deciduous woody vine is known for showy, trumpet-shaped flowers (3-1/2 in. L) That attracts much wildlife to the garden. Birds sometimes nest in the dense foliage. It inhabits woodlands and riverbanks and is also a popular garden subject. It tolerates deer, drought, and clay soils. The foliage grows well in the shade, but the plants need good sun for best flowering. Good in woodland gardens and naturalized areas. Provides quick cover for fences, arbors, trellises, walls or other structures in the landscape or can be grown along the ground to camouflage rock piles, old tree stumps, or other unsightly areas. Its flowers are orange to red in color, with a yellowish throat that appears after several months of warm weather.
