Trumpet Vine

The Hummingbird Highway

Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans) is a vigorous native vine designed by nature for hummingbirds. Its long, tubular, orange-red flowers are the perfect shape for their beaks. It is a high-energy, fast-growing vine that covers fences and arbors quickly, creating a lush wall of green and orange.

Why You Need It:

• Hummingbird Magnet: One of the top plants for attracting them in summer.
• Fast Cover: Quickly covers unsightly fences or structures.
• Toughness: Thrives in heat, humidity, and poor soil.

Planting Tips:

Plant in Full Sun. Warning: This vine is aggressive! It needs a very sturdy structure (not a flimsy trellis) and should be planted where its suckering roots can be mowed or contained. Do not plant against wood siding.
