American Trumpet Vine

Also known as Trumpet Creeper, Yellow Trumpet Vine, Cow Itch Vine, Hellvine

American trumpet vine scales trees, fences, and structures using clingy aerial rootlets, producing dense clusters of vibrant reddish-orange flowers throughout summer. These tubular blooms produce rich nectar that serves as a vital food source for hummingbirds and long-tongued insects. While valued for its ornamental beauty and wildlife appeal, its vigorous root system and prolific seed pods allow it to quickly spread and dominate landscape boundaries.
