If you're looking to attract hummingbirds to your yard, planting the right flowers can make all the difference. One particularly attractive flower for hummingbirds is the trumpet vine, also known as Campsis radicans.
Vibrant Trumpet-shaped Flowers: The trumpet vine has magnificent trumpet-shaped blossoms in orange, crimson, or yellow, depending on the type. Hummingbirds love these vibrant flowers for their nectar-rich cores.
Abundant Nectar Supply: Hummingbirds eat trumpet vine blossoms because they create lots of nectar. Hummingbirds can readily obtain the tasty nectar inside the tubular blooms due to their long, slender beaks.
Long Blooming Period: Trumpet vine flowers bloom from mid-summer to early fall, providing a steady supply of nectar for hummingbirds throughout their peak feeding season.
Easy to Grow: Trumpet vine is a hardy and low-maintenance plant that thrives in a variety of growing conditions. It can tolerate a wide range of soil types and is relatively drought-tolerant once established.
Trumpet vine is also known for its vigorous growth habit, quickly covering fences, trellises, and arbors with its lush foliage and colorful flowers.
Attracts Pollinators: Besides hummingbirds, trumpet vine blossoms attract bees, butterflies, and moths. You may build a diversified environment for wildlife by growing trumpet vine in your yard.
