Campsis radicans originates from America, but you will also find this climbing plant in Italy, Spain, Greece and Croatia. So there is a good chance you have come across it on holiday.

dimensions & properties
We selected this Bignonia plant at a nursery called 'Vivercid' in Spain (close to Valencia).
color plant: green leaves and beautiful dark orange to red flowers from April to September
care tips
Place the plant in a sunny and somewhat sheltered spot. If there is a lot of sun, this Chinese trumpet will flower more abundantly and for longer. Campis flowers relatively late in the summer. This is a time when many plants have already finished flowering, making the campsis a fine addition to the garden.
