Campsis radicans
Common Trumpet Creeper
Description
3-4" tubular orange-red flowers highlight this vigorously growing deciduous vine. In the summer, these flowers are borne in clustered form. The vine clings to strutures with small rootlets and can cling to nearly any surface. It can become rampant and top-heavy, and benefets from occasional severe pruning.
