Campsis radicans (Trumpet Creeper)

Hummingbirds find this plant irresistable! They feed on nectar produced by clusters of orange-red trumpet-shaped flowers from July-September. This woody vine attaches to any surface with rootlike holdfasts. Lustrous dark green leaves form a good screen. Can be quite aggressive so plant it where it will not compete with other plants.
