Trumpet Vine, Yellow
Campsis radicans
Hardy in zones 5-9.
‘Flava’ is a hardy, rapidly growing, clinging vine that, in the summer months, produces yellow trumpet shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds. Plant 3 to 4 feet apart in full sun to light shade in loamy, sandy or clay, medium to well-drained, soil, with a pH 6.8 - 7.7. Flowering and growth is best in full sun. Will tolerate some drought and occasional wetness and salt. Training is easy, but regular pinching and pruning is necessary to become established. Dead-head spent blooms. Cut back to the ground each spring before new growth emerges. Use caution when pruning because some people react to the foliage with skin inflammation. (All or parts of this plant are poisonous).
