Chinese Trumpet Vine (Campsis grandiflora) Climbing Plant

Chinese Trumpet Vine (Campsis grandiflora-syn. Bignonia grandiflora) Vine Plant - Climber Flowering Plants. The Campsis grandiflora, botanically a member of the Trumpet Vines (Bignoniaceae) family, is native to various regions of China. It is a large climbing plant, which thanks to its aerial rootlets can reach a height of about 10 m, even using trees or surfaces for support. It is perennial and deciduous, has a fast growth rate, high canopy density and a multi-stemmed climbing appearance. The leaves are opposite, odd pinnately compound, smooth-textured, ovate with serate margins, whose lamina is bright green in colour. The monoecious flowers, borne on a panicle inflorescence, are orange red in colour, funnel in shape and support a long period of flowering, which occur all summer. The Chinese Trumpet Vine is an easy-to-grow plant, has no serious pest and disease problems, and has minimal maintenance requirements. It can withstand both very high and low temperatures as well as drought. However, its growth is favoured when placed in direct light or semi-shaded areas, with normal humidity levels, and fertile soils with excellent drainage. The Chinese Trumpet Vine is utilized as a climber for creating a hedge, as well as in pergolas or trellises. It is also planted alone, or in group plantings and compositions. Its good tolerance to salt sprays also allows it to be grown in seaside gardens.

► It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the plant, such as the size of the pot, its height, age and shape. Large plants are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
