Plant in a Box Campis radicans 'Flava' - set of 2 trumpet climbers

Campsis Flava features beautiful yellow trumpet-shaped flowers that instantly add a Mediterranean atmosphere to your garden. The Campsis is also known as the trumpet vine. This plant climbs upwards with the help of adhesive roots and can climb along a wall or fence, making it well-suited for smaller urban gardens. This fast-growing climbing plant is originally from America but is also commonly found in Italy, Spain, Greece, and Croatia. So it’s quite possible that you have encountered it on vacation. Fortunately, the Campsis is sufficiently winter hardy, allowing you to easily bring that vacation feeling into your own garden. The Campsis Flava grows quickly and can reach heights of up to 10 meters.

Care
Place the plant in a sunny and somewhat sheltered location. In a sunny spot, this trumpet flower blooms more abundantly and for a longer period. Campsis blooms relatively late in the summer. When most plants have already finished blooming, the trumpet flower becomes a colorful addition to the garden. The plant does not require much water but should be adequately watered, especially in the first year during heat or drought. Don’t hesitate to prune the Campsis back if it becomes too large and unruly; it is a robust and fast-growing plant that can handle it well.
