The Trumpet Creeper, Campsis radicans, is a rapid growing, clinging vine that produces orange trumpet shaped flowers in the summer months that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. It is also known as the Trumpet Vine and is a tough vine for hot and dry sites. The invasive nature of this plant makes it hard to get rid of but also very hardy.

The abundant sprays of trumpet-shaped orange flowers cover this deciduous vine for an extra long bloom season. Trumpet Creepers are often grown with multiple trunks. This plant flowers best in a full sun location. The rapid growth makes it an excellent plant for covering fences or arbors.

Does Not Flower, 8/23/2006 9:34:41 PM
Reviewer: Debby
I have had this plant for 3 years but have not had one flower. Whats the problem? Answer from Nature Hills: It can take up to 2 – 3 years before you will see light flowering and up to 6 – 7 years for full flowering. When the plant is young it is using the majority of its energy establishing itself and growing in size.

Reviewer: Cheryl
I have had Trumpet Creepers for 15 years, they are best managed on tressles/arbors. Once they are established they spread under ground & pop up all over the yard, up to 20 ft from original planting. Try to keep away from foundations, they will grow up the side of house and under siding. Can take the pods and plant in locations. Humming birds love them, good shade cover on arbors, tie them to posts to get them to trail where you want them to go. Hard to get rid of if you dont want them anymore.

Reviewer: Ladybird
I absolutely love my Yellow trumpets and would like to transplant Orange colored ones, does anyone know how to transplant these vines? Answer from Nature Hills: Cut the plant back, dig it up and transplant it. It’s that easy.

Reviewer: cattomjerry
I have the seed pods from the trumpet creeper and dont how to plant them. Do I plant the whole seed pod or do I open it up and take out the seeds? Thank you for you information. Answer from Nature Hills: Let the seed pods dry and then you can plant the seeds, be careful it’s a vine and you may become over run with them.

I have had the Trumpet Creeper for 10 years, one against the house and the other over an arch. Neither were in full sun. Last year I transplanted them against a fence and for the first time we had hundreds of blooms in the sun. Seed pods appeared for the first time this year. Do I plant the green pod or keep them until they dry out? Answer from Nature Hills: Most seeds need to mature, follow nature and when the pods open the seeds are ready.

Can the trumpet vine be cut back. Mine is so large that it keeps pulling the trellis over? Answer from Nature Hills: Yes, absolutely it’s a vine and will re-grow vigorously.

Reviewer: Big Al
We have numerous trumpet creepers growing on our fences. They look great and provide great privacy. We have hot summers and cold winters, but the trumpet vines are growing strong.

Trumpet Creeper FOREVER, 11/29/2006 12:21:57 PM
Reviewer: Gina
There were 2 large orange trumpet creepers at the front and side of our old Wisconsin farmhouse when we moved in 13 years ago. They face south and get plenty of sun. To say they are prolific would be an understatement. They come up everywhere, 20-30 feet away from the brush, in other flower beds, in my hostas, in my window air conditioner, clinging to the sides of my brick house and climbing to the second story. Left unattended they would take over our 14 acres. I am always hacking away at them, with little mercy, just to try to keep them under control. Sometimes I think the more I cut them back the faster they grow. We get an occasional glimpse of hovering hummingbirds but Im not sure theyre worth all the vigilance required to keep the trumpet creeper from invading everywhere.

trumpet vine or creeper, 7/15/2007 8:20:04 PM
Reviewer: maidinmontana
I bought this plant from a box store. It had trumpet shaped flowers on it so I assumed it was a trumpet vine. When I searched on the internet for identifacation, I see there is a variety called campsis radicans, trumpet creeper. Is it the same thing? I dont see pods where the seeds form, is it too soon after the flower died off? I dont see tennicules for clinging, are they present on young plants? Since it was blooming when I got it, can I assume it will bloom when planted in the ground? I am very curious what exactly I have as I need to know the proper care of it. Thank you.
