Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Campsis radicans 'Flamenco' produces many panicles of 6-12 large, orange red flowers on large-growing vines. As for all trumpet vines, a sunny warm location with room to ramble is required to get the best display. Long, bean-like, seed pods, 15 cm long, open when ripe. Compound, pinnate, green leaves, 40 cm long. Very aggressive, suckering by underground runners. Clings to surfaces by aerial roots along its branches.

Clusters of large scarlet trumpet-flowers (and probably hummers, too!) will cover this vigorous 30-40' vine in late summer followed by golden fall color. S/M-D

As above but large brilliant red flowers with an orange center in August and September. Very vigorous like all trumpet vines but with sock-it-to me red blooms, it's destined to become a favorite. Takes 2-3 years to establish and is then a very robust grower.
