Family Bignoniaceae

Campsis radicans, also known as trumpet vine, is a spectacular climbing plant with flamboyant summer blooms. It produces large, orange-red trumpet-shaped flowers that attract bees and hummingbirds. Very hardy and vigorous, it climbs quickly thanks to its adhesive roots, making it perfect for covering walls or pergolas. It tolerates heat, poor soils, and urban conditions well. Its rapid growth and generous flowering make it an ideal plant for creating shade, privacy, and a strong visual impact in natural or structured landscapes.
