About
Campsis is a genus of flowering plants in the bignonia family, Bignoniaceae. It consists of two species,.
Trumpet vine as it is commonly known, is a self-clinging climber grown for its clusters of showy, exotic orange to red or yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers.
Grow Campsis against a warm sunny wall at least 4m (13ft) high. Although hardy, they need shelter from cold winds, and they need full sun to ripen the wood if they are to flower freely. Campsis do well in any moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil.
