Common name:Trumpet Creeper
Botanical name:Campsis radicans
Trumpet Creeper has 3"-4" tubular, orange-red flowers; it is a vigorously growing deciduous vine. In the summer, these flowers are borne in clustered form. The vine clings to structures with small rootlets and can cling to nearly any surface. It can become rampant and top-heavy, and benefits from occasional severe pruning.

Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
