About the Yellow Trumpet
Creeper :
The Yellow Trumpet Creeper, Campsis radicans 'Flava',
is a rapid growing, clinging vine produces yellow
trumpet shaped flowers in the summer months that
attract hummingbirds. Trumpet Creepers flower best
in a full sun location and it is a tough vine for
hot and dry sites. The invasive nature of this plant
makes it hard to get rid of but also very hardy.
The abundant sprays of trumpet-shaped yellow
flowers cover this deciduous vine for an extra long
bloom season. The rapid growth makes training easy
and therefore it is excellent for covering fences or
arbors. The 'Flava' cultivar is considered by many
to be the superior of the species.
