Yellow
Flowered Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans ‘Flava’) is less
commonly planted than the red or orange flowered varieties. Be the first in
your neighborhood to grow this almost rare trumpet vine variety.
It
is a vigorous grower that produces large trumpet shaped flowers that are
attractive to hummingbirds. Provide trumpet vines with some sort of climbing
support like an arbor, wire trellis, pipe fence, wall, or a pole. It can cover
such supports with beautiful green foliage and yellow flowers in a short time.
Usual
care consists of late winter pruning to control size. Trumpet vines are best
grown with low to regular water and are hardy to USDA zone 4.
The Nursery has Yellow Flowered Trumpet Vines available in 5 gallon containers.
