Common name:Trumpet Creeper
Botanical name:Campsis radicans
Trumpet Creeper has 3"-4" tubular, orange-red flowers; it is a vigorously growing deciduous vine. In the summer, these flowers are borne in clustered form. The vine clings to structures with small rootlets and can cling to nearly any surface. It can become rampant and top-heavy, and benefits from occasional severe pruning.

Soils and Compost:
Practice grass-cycling by leaving short grass clippings on lawns after mowing, so that nutrients and organic matter are returned to the soil.
Water Saving Tip:
Adjust sprinklers to avoid watering sidewalks and driveways.
Integrated Pest Management:
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
