Campsis x tagliabuana ‘Madame Galen’

Campsis × tagliabuana is a hybrid cross between C. radicans (American trumpet vine) and C. grandiflora (Chinese trumpet vine). It produces trumpet-shaped, orange-red to red flowers (to 3” long) which appear in loose, somewhat drooping clusters throughout the summer. It is a woody, clinging vine which attaches itself to structures and climbs by aerial rootlets. It rapidly grows 15-25’ high.  Flowers are very attractive to hummingbirds. Flowers are followed by long, bean-like seed pods which split open when ripe releasing numerous 2-winged seeds for disbursal by the wind.  ‘Madame Galen’ is a popular cultivar that produces cantaloupe-orange to salmon-red flowers.  (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
