TRUMPET VINE RED - CAMPSIS RADICANS (50 SEEDS) TROPIC CLIMBING PERENNIAL
Fast Growing Vine, Showy Flowers, Attracts Hummingbirds, Cold and Heat Tolerant
Trumpet Creeper Vine is a woody, clinging vine which attaches itself to structures and climbs by aerial rootlets. Native to the Southeastern United States, Trumpet Creeper Vine rapidly grows 30 to 40 feet high. It produces compound, odd-pinnate leaves to 15 inches long, which are shiny green above and glabrous below. Clusters (terminal cymes) of red trumpet-shaped flowers, to 3 inches long, appear throughout the summer. Flowers are very attractive to hummingbirds. Flowers are followed by long, bean-like seed pods, 3 to 5 inches long, which split open when ripe releasing numerous 2-winged seeds for dispersal by the wind. Radicans means stem-rooting in reference to the aerial rootlets. Also commonly called cow-itch vine because some people experience skin redness and itching after coming in contact with the leaves.
