Campsis radicans

trumpet creeper, trumpet vine

Doubtlessly the showiest and easiest of our native vines, this strong, fast grower feeds hummingbirds at butterflies during the summer and early fall. It can be aggressive, so make sure to site this species well on fences and arbors, away from young trees easily overwhelmed.
