Plant Care & Growing Tips

Growing Campsis radicans from red trumpet vine seeds is a rewarding experience. For best results, sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Provide a location with full sun to medium sun exposure; while it tolerates some shade, ample sunlight promotes the most prolific blooming. The plant thrives in well-draining soil, though it is quite adaptable to various soil types. Water regularly during its establishment phase, aiming for medium watering to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once mature, it becomes more drought-tolerant. Fertilize sparingly, as too much nitrogen can promote foliage growth over flowers. Pruning in late winter or early spring is beneficial to control its vigorous growth and encourage more blooms. Be mindful of its climbing nature and provide a sturdy support structure. This hummingbird vine is generally resistant to most pests and diseases, making it a robust choice for your garden.
