Yellow Trumpet Vine ‘Flava’

Yellow Trumpet Vine 'Flava' (Campsis radicans ‘Flava’). Campsis radicans ‘Flava’ is a unique bright yellow flowering variant, offering a luminous alternative to the traditional trumpet vine. Its large golden trumpets appear all summer long, illuminating vertical structures in the garden. Very hardy and robust, it climbs quickly and tolerates heat and poor soils well. It attracts pollinating insects while creating a tropical effect. 'Flava' is perfect for those who want an original and vibrant trumpet vine. The indicated mature size is 10 to 12 m (33 to 39 feet) in height and 3 m (10 feet) in width.

To plant yellow trumpet vine 'Flava', choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is neutral to slightly acidic, well-drained. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again. Spread mulch around the base, leaving the crown clear. Avoid systematic fertilizer applications without considering the soil's richness. In Quebec, choose a period when the soil is unfrozen and easy to work.

Allow a width of 3 m (10 feet) to organize the space for this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 10 to 12 m (33 to 39 feet) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine 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. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
