30 Seeds Trumpet Creeper Vine Campsis radicans Hummingbird Magnet Perennial
Trumpet Creeper is a vigorous deciduous climbing vine known for its bold, trumpet-shaped blooms that bring a dramatic, tropical look to fences, trellises, and arbors. The lush green foliage emerges in spring and quickly covers support structures, while the large tubular flowers open through the summer in warm shades of orange and red, creating a striking vertical accent in the landscape.
This fast-growing vine is well suited to covering walls, pergolas, and sturdy trellises, and its nectar-rich blooms are a favorite of hummingbirds. It can also be allowed to scramble along the ground as a colorful ground cover. Provide a strong support structure, as mature vines can become heavy, and prune as needed to manage size and shape.
