Campsis 'Flava' - Deciduous Climber - Height 180-200cm - 9lt

Campsis flava, often known as the yellow trumpet vine, is a highly suitable choice for gardeners looking to introduce bold color, wildlife interest, and a touch of the exotic to their outdoor spaces. This vigorous deciduous climber thrives in full sun, where it produces its most abundant flushes of bright yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers throughout summer. Its blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbird-like pollinators, making it an excellent plant for wildlife-friendly gardens.

Campsis flava is best suited to warm, sheltered positions, such as south-facing walls, pergolas, or sturdy trellises. It can tolerate a range of soils, provided they are well-drained, and once established it is impressively drought-tolerant, making it a strong performer in low-maintenance or Mediterranean-style gardens. However, because it is a naturally vigorous climber, it does require ample space and a strong support structure to accommodate its energetic growth.

Its lush, pinnate foliage provides attractive cover even when not in bloom, offering a screening option for patios or fences. With yearly pruning to manage size and encourage flowering wood, Campsis flava becomes a long-lived, dramatic, and rewarding garden feature.
