Trumpet creeper, also known as Campsis radicans, is a flowering plant that belongs to the Bignoniaceae family. This climbing vine is native to the southeastern United States, and it is extensively cultivated for its showy red-orange flowers. There are several other synonyms that refer to this plant, including trumpet vine, cow itch vine, hummingbird vine, and hellvine. The plant gets its name from the trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom during the summer months and attract hummingbirds and bees due to their sweet nectar. Despite being beautiful and useful, it can also be invasive and requires careful pruning to control its growth.
