Description
A trumpet vine that blooms from late spring through fall, abundant clusters of large, striking orange-red trumpet-shape flowers will have the hummingbirds flocking to your gardens all season long! Balboa Sunset Trumpet Vine is a very fast growing, ever-blooming Campsis radicans that will quickly cover a sturdy fence, rail, pole, arbor or other structure. It will also climb the branches of large trees without doing any damage to the tree itself. A flowering vine that thrives and blooms profusely with little to no maintenance or care.Â
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing vigorously up to 40 feet in height, the Balboa Sunset Trumpet Vine is not a plant for the mailbox. It requires larger structures that can support the length of the vine such as an arbor, pergola, tall pole, fence or deck rails. The vine will also grow up and through the branches of small trees without doing any harm to the tree itself. Can also be used as a groundcover. A fine addition to hummingbird gardens and red or orange theme gardens.
Growing Preferences
The Balboa Sunset Trumpet Vine is exceptionally easy to grow in a wide range of well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Flowering will be heavier with more sun. After quickly establishing itself, it is exceptionally drought and heat tolerant and has few if any insect or disease problems.
