This hummingbird magnet will transform any garden in a single season – how to grow the vibrant trumpet vine

Red flowers of the trumpet vine, Campsis radicans, in a sunny garden .

The trumpet vine, or Campsis radicans, is a fast-growing climber that is prized for its profusion of tubular pink, red or orange flowers in summer. These blooms are known to attract pollinators, proving to be a hit with hummingbirds who can often be seen feeding on the nectar-rich offerings in July and August and September.

Native to North America, this vigorous climber can be found growing across much of the eastern United States, covering garden walls, fences and pergolas with dense foliage and flowers. When grown correctly, the trumpet vine will provide privacy and vertical interest to any garden for many years.
