The purple trumpet vine is an evergreen vine with woody branches that exhibits rapid growth. Its glossy dark green leaves are perfect match to its lavender, trumpet-shaped flowers.
Its cousin, Campsis radicans grows into the New England area and bears showy funnel shaped clusters of showy, broad-petaled orange-red tubular flowers.
A spectacular array of colors can be seen when the purple blooms show up from late spring to fall. The vine grows rapidly and blooms for a longer period of time under partial shade to full sun.
Rapid Grower
The spreading or irregular growth habit of the lavender trumpet vine makes it a plant well suited in landscapes of all kinds when used as quick cover for fences and trellises.
Since it’s a fast-growing vine, it is one of the most sought-after ground covering vines. The contrast between its evergreen leaves and lavender flowers can add a pleasing look to any garden, backyard, or landscape.
