The trumpet vine, scientifically known as Campsis radicans, is a vigorous climbing plant native to the southeastern United States. It is characterized by its large, trumpet-shaped flowers that typically bloom in shades of orange and red during the summer months. The plant can grow up to 30 feet long and is often used in gardens for its ornamental value and ability to attract pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies. This perennial vine thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a popular choice for trellises, fences, and arbors. While it is relatively low-maintenance, trumpet vine can become invasive if not properly managed, as it spreads quickly through its root system and seeds.
