Trumpet Vine, Trumpet Creeper
BIGNOINACEAE
Campsis Grandiflora 'Morning calm'
(CAMP-sis grand-i-FLOR-a)

This trumpet vine is a winner.

As with all trumpet creepers they are vigorous, woody, and a deciduous climber. They grow well in any moderately fertile soil - but must be well drained. They do tolerate poor soil. Ideally they love a warm wall in full sun.

Since this vine is vigorous and fast growing, be prepared to provide a strong support for its growth.

Prune in late winter or early spring. One may have to assist the growth and tie the shoots until a mainframe is established.

Hummingbirds love all trumpet vines.

Propagation may be done by seed or root leaf bud cuttings in the spring or semi-ripe cuttings in the summer.

Trumpet vine is one of the easiest deciduous perennial vines to grow.
