Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Campsis radicans 'Flava' is an extremely attractive, large, flowering climber. The clusters of 4-12 rich yellow, 2-3 inch long, trumpet shaped flowers are produced in mid to late summer on vigorous vines. Provide strong support such as a trellis, fence or arbor to create a splendid, colourful accent to a patio, pathway or garden perimeter. Once established, trumpet vine will thrive and bloom best with little care, other than some annual pruning to control size.
