Description

Trumpet Creeper has 3"-4" tubular, orange-red flowers; it is a vigorously growing deciduous vine. In the summer, these flowers are borne in clustered form. The vine clings to structures with small rootlets and can cling to nearly any surface. It can become rampant and top-heavy, and benefits from occasional severe pruning.
