Trumpet Creeper, Campsis radicans, Vine Seeds (Fast, Showy, Hummingbirds, Hardy)

Trumpet Creeper Vine, Campsis radicans, Seeds Fast Growing Vine, Showy Flowers, Attracts Hummingbirds, Cold and Heat Tolerant Trumpet Creeper Vine is a woody, clinging vine which attaches itself to structures and climbs by aerial rootlets. Native to the Southeastern United States, Trumpet Creeper Vine rapidly grows 30 to 40 feet high. It produces compound, odd-pinnate leaves to 15 inches long, which are shiny green above and glabrous below. Clusters (terminal cymes) of red trumpet-shaped flowers, to 3 inches long, appear throughout the summer. Flowers are very attractive to hummingbirds. Flowers are followed by long, bean-like seed pods, 3 to 5 inches long, which split open when ripe releasing numerous 2-winged seeds for dispersal by the wind. Radicans means stem-rooting in reference to the aerial rootlets. Also commonly called cow-itch vine because some people experience skin redness and itching after coming in contact with the leaves. Other Names: trumpetcreeper, Bignonia radicans, Cow-itch Vine, Trumpet-creeper Vine Zone: 4 to 9 Growth Rate: Fast Plant Type: Deciduous Vine Family: Bignoniaceae Native Range: Southeastern United States Height: 25 to 40 feet Spread: 5 to 10 feet Bloom Time: July Bloom Color: Orange, Red Sun: Full Sun to Part Shade Fall Color: None Water: Medium Maintenance: High Site Requirements /Soil Tolerances: Easily grown in most soils. Best in lean to average soils with regular moisture in full sun. Foliage grows well in shade, but plants need good sun for best flowering. Culture: Blooms on new growth, so early spring pruning will not affect the flowering. Vines must be grown on sturdy structures because mature plants produce considerable weight. This is an extremely aggressive plant which suckers from underground runners and freely self-seeds. Uses: Woodland gardens, naturalized areas. Provides quick cover for fences, arbors, trellises, walls or other structures in the landscape. Also may be grown along the ground to camouflage rock piles or old tree stumps. Good vine for hot, dry sites. Needs lots of room. Excellent for hummingbird gardens. Sowing Campsis radicans Seeds: For best results, please follow the instructions in the order provided.

50++ Trumpet Vine Seeds (Campsis radicans) Orange. Free Shipping!. Trumpet vine is a gracefully-shaped vine with simple care requirements. Its leaves are uniquely arranged like feathers. In the summer, the vividly-colored flowers bloom to create beautiful scenes on lattices, balconies, or walls thanks to the plant's powerful climbing ability. It's not difficult to grow trumpet vine. With sufficient sunlight and water, it can grow robustly and flourish. Trumpet vine likes warm, moist climates. It is resistant to low temperatures and tolerant of severe coldness. The ideal temperature range for its growth is 50 to 82 ℉, making it suitable to grow in Hardiness Zones 6-9. Chinese trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans grandiflora) can grow normally when the temperature is as low as -9 ℉, while trumpet vine (Campsis radicans) is even more cold-resistant, tolerating temperatures as low as -29 ℉. Trumpet vine likes moist environments but is not tolerant of dampness and is sensitive to waterlogging. The plant only needs to absorb a little water in winter, so there is no need to water it then. When grown in a tropical region, water should be provided based on weather conditions. Sunlight Trumpet vine likes ample sunlight and grows well in open fields. Sufficient sunlight makes it grow better and bloom more easily. The plant does not grow very well in shaded environments, and the number of its flowers will decrease without sufficient light, possibly not blooming at all. Therefore, make sure your plant receives plenty of light exposure. Soil Trumpet vine doesn't require much from the soil. Still, it's best to choose well-drained, loose soil that's slightly acidic or neutral, with an ideal pH range of 6.8-7.2. Mix garden soil, peat moss, leaf mold, and river sand at a 2:1:1:1 ratio to make the planting soil, and add some organic manure to act as the base fertilizer. Care Guide Planting It's best to plant trumpet vine in spring, because the light conditions, temperature, and amount of rain in spring are ideal for its growth. Trumpet vine is usually sown in the spring. Soak the seeds in water for 5-6 days first, then sow them in soil. Water just enough to keep the soil moist. Wait until they germinate, then transplant them to pots or your garden. For garden growing, plant trumpet vine seedlings by a wall or lattice where sunlight can easily reach. In the seedling stage, you can secure the plant to the wall or lattice with rope or nails, then the wall helps guide trumpet vine to climb in the desired direction. This way, manual traction won't be needed when the plant matures. Water Trumpet vine is somewhat drought-enduring. It likes moist environments but is sensitive to waterlogging. Therefore, it needs plenty of watering during its growing seasons (spring and summer). When it's hot in the summer, water trumpet vine more in the morning or evening. Keep the soil moist, but free of standing water. In its seedling stage, water your plant more often so it can grow faster. After the plant matures, reduce the watering frequency to prevent consistently damp soil and root rot. Trumpet vine enters dormancy in the late fall, which lasts through the spring of the following year. During dormancy, it consumes less water. Therefore, very little watering is needed during this time. For trumpet vine grown in a cold region, watering should be fully stopped during this time, while for it grown in a tropical region, water should still be supplied modestly due to quick evaporation rates. Fertilizer Trumpet vine grows fast and has a long-lasting flower season. Therefore, it's best to supply it with plenty of fertilizer to guarantee good growth and promote blooming. * In the growing season (spring and early summer) it mainly needs nitrogen fertilizers. Fertilizing once every half-month can promote the growth of the plant. * Before blooming, reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer and switch to mainly potassium and phosphorus fertilizers to promote blooming. * During the flower season, spray 0.2% potassium and phosphorus fertilizers on the leaves every other week. This facilitates the blooming of big and vividly-colored flowers. * After the flowers wither, apply potassium and phosphorus fertilizers one or two more times to make sure trumpet vine accumulates enough nutrients for the winter. * In winter, trumpet vine enters dormancy and doesn't absorb nutrition. Stop fertilizing then. Pruning It's best to prune trumpet vine in spring. Weak, dense, and overlapping branches can be pruned off from the plant to make room for new branches to grow. Dried and sick branches also must go. In summer, the year's newly-grown branches can be pruned, too, to encourage the growth of more new branches, resulting in more exuberant blooming. Trumpet vine is a climbing plant by nature, so take special care that support structures are properly positioned for it to climb upward. (It can be drawn by ropes to climb onto walls and lattices in a garden.) Happy Gardening! P.S. All our seeds are shipped via USPS first class mail envelope, tracking is not available.
