Campsis radicans flava
GOLD TRUMPET VINE Yellow
SKU: 1037-005
Description
This is one of those plants that words can't really do it justice. The absolutely stunning tropical-looking golden-yellow trumpet flowers cover this vine in summer! They are a favorite of hummingbirds! These vines love to climb tall trees, and they require a strong support, as they can grow quite tall. When we first saw them, it appeared as though a pine tree was blooming, but in fact, it was the Trumpet Vine that had climbed the tree, and was showing off it's glory!
Type: Hardy vine
Height: 30 feet or more. Can be pruned to be kept smaller.
Location: Sun, or part sun.
Hardiness zones: 5-10
Note: This plant species is known to cause dermatitis in some individuals
Seeds per pack: 5
Germination: Start these seeds indoors right away for best germination rates. Soak the seeds for 12-24 hours before planting. Your planting container should have holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a seed-start mix, and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 60-90 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer. Do not discard the planting tray, as patience is needed, and they are well worth the wait.
