Trumpet Creeper
Trumpet Creeper The Trumpet Creeper, Campsis radicans 'flamenco', is a rapid growing, clinging vine that produces bright red orange trumpet shaped flowers that can get 3 inches long. Blooming in the summer months, it attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. Also known as the Trumpet Vine, it is a tough vine for hot and dry sites. The invasive nature of this plant makes it hard to get rid of, but it is very hardy. It will become less invasive as long as seed pods are removed before they ripen and the plant cut back each spring before new growth develops. The abundant sprays of trumpet-shaped red orange flowers cover this deciduous vine for an extra long bloom season. Trumpet Creepers are often grown with multiple trunks. This vine is a woody climber that grows up to 30 feet tall with the main stem getting about seven inches wide. This plant flowers best in a full sun location. The rapid growth makes it an excellent plant for covering fences or arbors; clinging vines attach themselves to structures and climbs by aerial rootlets. Trumpet Creeper can take the form of a small shrub if it does not have structure to climb. * Fast growing* Vining habit* Bright red orange flowers

Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots. It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails. Plant this low care plant in an area that receives the right amount of light. The leaves need some morning sun to bring out the best coloration; too much sun will burn the leaves.
