Campsis, commonly known as trumpet creeper or trumpet vine, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Bignoniaceae, native to woodlands in China and North America. [1] It consists of two species, both of which are vigorous deciduous perennial climbers, [2] clinging by aerial roots, and producing large trumpet-shaped flowers in the summer. [3] [4] They are reasonably hardy and do well with the support of a wall, preferring full sun. [3]
