Bignone 'Flamenco'

Trumpet Vine 'Flamenco' (Campsis radicans 'Flamenco'). Campsis radicans 'Flamenco' is a floriferous variety remarkable for its large, vibrant deep red flowers, which bloom abundantly from summer until early autumn. Its vigorous growth habit allows it to quickly cover fences, trellises, or facades. Very hardy, it is also tolerant of heat and drought. Its glossy green foliage provides a beautiful plant screen, and its flowering attracts pollinators. 'Flamenco' is ideal for adding movement, color, and an exotic ambiance to any vertical space.

To plant trumpet vine 'Flamenco', choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: neutral to slightly acidic, well-drained. Water the root ball before planting it in the ground and ensure that water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the soil moisture by hand before watering again. Spread mulch around the base, leaving the collar clear. Avoid systematic fertilizer applications without considering the soil's richness. In Quebec, choose a period when the ground is thawed and easy to work with. In hot weather, monitor recently planted plants more frequently.

Allow a width of 3 m (10 feet) to organize the placement of this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 10 to 12 m (33 to 39 feet) helps to choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Keep access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Associate this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
