Trumpet Vine

Trumpet Vine is a vigorous native flowering vine known for lush green compound foliage and showy orange-red, trumpet-shaped summer blooms. This fast-growing climber adds bold vertical color, seasonal coverage, and hummingbird appeal to sunny fences, arbors, pergolas, large trellises, and naturalized landscape areas.

Why choose Trumpet Vine?

Choose Trumpet Vine for dramatic summer flowers, quick coverage, and strong wildlife value in the landscape. Its tubular blooms are especially attractive to hummingbirds, while its dense leafy stems can soften large structures or fill expansive garden spaces. This vine is best used where its energetic growth can be guided, such as on sturdy supports, along fence lines, or in informal native gardens. With proper pruning, it provides a striking combination of foliage, flower power, and seasonal movement.

Key Characteristics

Botanical Name: Campsis radicans
Common Name: Trumpet Vine, Trumpet Creeper
Plant Type: Deciduous woody vine
Growth Habit: Vigorous climbing vine with aerial rootlets

Trumpet Vine Additional Information

Trumpet Vine is a deciduous perennial vine native to much of the eastern and central United States. It climbs by aerial rootlets, gripping sturdy supports as it matures, and can create a bold screen of green foliage through the growing season. Clusters of tubular orange-red flowers typically appear in summer on new growth, followed by elongated seed pods that may add late-season interest if left in place.

This plant is best suited to large-scale spaces, naturalized areas, native plantings, and strong landscape structures that can support a mature woody vine. Because it is naturally vigorous, routine pruning helps keep growth within the desired area and encourages a cleaner shape. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins, and remove unwanted shoots as needed during the growing season. Trumpet Vine is deciduous, dropping its leaves after frost and returning with fresh growth in spring.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant Trumpet Vine in full sun to light shade with average, well-drained soil. Choose a permanent location with a strong support in place, since mature vines become woody and can develop considerable weight over time.

2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Once established, provide supplemental water during extended dry periods, especially in sandy soils or exposed sunny locations.

3. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the framework and remove unwanted stems. Additional trimming after bloom can help guide long shoots and maintain a tidy appearance.

4. Spacing: Give Trumpet Vine plenty of room to climb and spread. Place it where suckers can be mowed, removed, or incorporated into a larger naturalized planting area.
