60 Seeds Trumpet Creeper Trumpet Vine Campsis radicans

Trumpet Creeper (Campsis radicans) is a vigorous woody climbing vine known for its showy, trumpet-shaped blooms in shades of orange and red that appear through the warmer months. This fast-growing climber is a popular choice for covering trellises, arbors, fences, and pergolas, where its lush foliage and dramatic flowers create a striking vertical display. Its nectar-rich blossoms are a favorite of hummingbirds and bees, adding lively movement and color to the garden landscape.

Trumpet Creeper works well as a bold ornamental accent in perennial borders, along fences, or as a screening vine on sturdy structures. It thrives in full sun, tolerates a range of soils, and grows quickly once established, though it benefits from regular pruning to keep its spread in check. The plant is deciduous, dying back in colder zones and returning each spring. Seeds can be started indoors before the last frost or sown directly outdoors after the soil has warmed.
