Pairs well with

Large trumpet-shaped flowers in orange to red open through summer on a vine that climbs 20 to 30 feet and covers ground just as fast. Campsis radicans is a native perennial vine growing in full sun to part sun, hardy from Zone 4 through Zone 8.

Hummingbirds work the flowers all season. Few plants match it for drawing them, and the flower shape is built for exactly that.

This is a vigorous plant, which is the thing to plan for before you buy. It climbs by aerial rootlets, spreads by underground runners, and seeds itself, and it will take over a small garden if you let it. Give it a substantial arbor, a fence line, or a spot where spreading is welcome, and plan on cutting it back hard every year.

Trumpet vine handles poor soil, drought, and heat once established, and it flowers most heavily in full sun. Keep it off wood siding and away from foundations, since the rootlets work into gaps.

I ordered 2 native plants both arrived on time and with one exception- not under control of vendor- as expected- I’ll check how to deal with this one plant abs and hope it’s resolved and resilient- decent value otherwise and keep it native. -

I've received four roses from Spotswood Greenery and each won has been a big, healthy, beautiful plant. Shipping is super quick and prices are reasonable. I'm super satisfied and will be ordering many more!

Exceptional Roses

EXCEPTIONAL ROSES!

Recently, I received a #3 pot Wollerton Old Hall Rose, a #3 Alnwick Rose, and a #2 pot Sweet Mademoiselle rose from Spotswood Greenery. I could not be more pleased and grateful. All plants are in perfect condition. Each is supported by incredibly healthy roots, several Charles Atlas-like stems, and beautiful foliage. Packaging was very secure. Clearly done with care! Shipping was quite prompt. Now, pricing! I've grown roses for 40 of my 67 years. In that time, it's easy for me to say that Spotswood has exceeded every other source without question. I found three roses in stock I had wanted! The quality is champion! The prices are very good, excellent when one buys at the free shipping level! Worth every penny! Thank you, every one, on the Spotswood Greenery Team!

I just received my hypericum red fame and was amazed how big it was and just as pretty as my established one I have had a couple years. So happy because the last one I ordered online from another nursery came as a little stub compared to this! I will definitely use Spotswood Greenery for now on!

Quick shipping

Bought a David Austin rose; it arrived quickly however it had some damage upon arrival. Ended up pruning and defoliating a good bit to get rid of the broken cane and pest damage, but I expect it to be a beautiful bush down the road.

Comfortable ordering process

The information and accuracy of the description of the ordered plants was great. The ability to search for specific plants was nice. Could search for terms not pre-defined and still came up with relevant specimens.

The online ordering process went smoothly.

I ordered ~8 David Austin roses from here. They were equal in quality to the ones at my local nurseries (better than some), and $10 cheaper. Established roots, full of buds that have become gorgeous blooms. Will absolutely order from Spotswood again!

Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in average to lean, well-drained soil. Provide a very sturdy support structure- mature trumpet vine is heavy and extremely vigorous. Space 15–20 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting.

Care Tips

Water regularly after planting; once established it is highly drought tolerant. Trumpet vine is extremely vigorous and can become invasive- plant where it can be managed and prune hard each spring to control its size and spread. Cut back all growth to within a few buds of the main framework in early spring. Remove any suckers from the base and any seedlings immediately. No fertilization needed- rich conditions promote foliage at the expense of flowers. The vivid orange-red tubular flowers are irresistible to hummingbirds. Largely pest-free.
