Description

The large climbing trumpet or hybrid climbing trumpet (Campsis tagliabuana) is a cross between the American climbing trumpet (Campsis radicans) and the Chinese climbing trumpet (Campsis grandiflora). The large climbing trumpet is a deciduous, shrubby and lush climbing plant that produces both creeping shoots and adhesive roots. It can reach heights of 4 to 10 meters. The large, 5 to 7 cm long, yellow, orange or red funnel-shaped or trumpet-shaped flowers appear on the annual shoots from July to September.

Non hybrid

Frostproof

Growing tips

The large climbing trumpet prefers very warm, sunny to semi-sunny locations with evenly moist soil without waterlogging. It thrives in both sandy and loamy soil. The ideal planting time is mid-spring. This gives the plant enough time to take root. Winter protection is advisable in the first year after planting. The climbing trumpet should be pruned back in February-March. This involves pruning back all side shoots from the main shoots to 5 to 10 centimetres (2-3 buds) and removing all thin shoots. Climbing trumpet should be watered regularly. The plant requires a climbing support.
