Trumpet Vine

Trumpet Vine (campsis radicans) is a native plant of the southeastern United States and occurs primarily in riverine forests, as well as in mesic & xeric hammock. Known for its stunning, trumpet-shaped flowers, this vigorous climber can reach impressive heights, often scaling trees or structures with ease.

The blooms, typically a fiery orange or red, attract a variety of pollinators, including hummingbirds and bees, and it is the larval host for the Plebeian Sphinx moth (Paratraea plebeja).

Look for this plant on the Forest Barefoot Path of the Environmental Learning Center.
