Flowering Vines

Trumpet Vines (Campsis radicans) Trumpet Vines: Campsis radicans, which most call the trumpet vine or trumpet creeper, is a fast-growing, multi-stemmed, perennial vine. It is a North American native species originating in the southeastern United States. However, it is an adaptable flower that will grow in most USDA growing zones. If you need a hardy perennial to cover a large section of fence or to hide an eyesore, trumpet vines can accomplish that task for you within a few seasons. The vines can grow as long as forty feet. The key to growing healthy trumpet vines is to aerate the soil for faster drainage and fertilize it twice a year. It will also tolerate heat and drought and bounce back after the winter cold. The Immense Charm of Trumpet Vines Trumpet vines are famous for their ability to grow fast, but perhaps more so for the rustic charm of the vine and flowers. The vine is woody and bears dark green, ovate and serrated leaves with a pointed tip. The stems are a slightly lighter hue, creating a lovely tonal effect. The plant takes its name from the trumpet-shaped flowers, a vibrant coral to orange in color. Each flower is reasonably sized, measuring one to three inches across. However, these blossoms are eye-catching because they tend to bloom in clusters of five to seven flowers. These flowery clusters create large splashes of color against the green vines. Plant Campsis radicans if You Love Hummingbirds Due to the long trumpet-shaped blossoms, Campsis radicans attract hummingbirds' attention. Gardeners who create hummingbird gardeners enjoy planting this flowery vine on an arbor or trellis. This inclusion in the garden allows them to contribute to hummingbird health by providing natural nectar instead of constantly refilling feeders. Why do gardeners care so much about these tiny birds? Here's the answer. Hummingbirds are essential plant pollinators because their long beaks can pollinate slender flowers that other birds cannot.
