A catalog of Native North American Plants : Campsis radicans

Common name: Trumpet creeper, Trumpet vine, trumpet honeysuckle

hummingbird vine, is a species of flowering plant of the family Bignoniaceae, native to the eastern United State and extreme southern Ontario.

It is a vigorous, deciduous woody vine, growing to 10 m, notable for its showy trumpet-shaped flowers. The flowers are very attractive to hummingbirds, and many types of birds like to nest in the dense foliage. The flowers are followed by large seed pods. As these mature, they dry and split. Hundreds of thin, brown, paper-like seeds are released.
