The '''Trumpet vine''' or '''Trumpet creeper''' (''Campsis radicans''), also known as "Cow itch vine," is a large and vigorous woody [[vine]] of the family [[Bignoniaceae]], notable for its showy trumpet-shaped [[flower]]s. It is native to woodlands of the [[Southeastern United States|southeastern]] [[United States]], but is a popular garden [[perennial plant]] across much of the country as some [[cultivar]]s are hardy to as low as -30°F/-34°C.

==Cultivation==
Succeeds on a warm wall in a good loamy soil{{pfaf1}} in full sun{{pfaf166}} or light shade{{pfaf200}}. Plants can become rampant when growing in rich soils{{pfaf200}}. A very ornamental plant{{pfaf1}}, it is hardy to about -20°c according to some reports{{pfaf184}}{{pfaf200}} whilst another says that it is not hardy in all parts of the country but it succeeds in more open positions such as a pergola or an old tree in the southern part of England{{pfaf1}}. Plants require the extra warmth of a sunny wall to induce better flowering{{pfaf184}}. Plants are self-clinging by aerial roots like ivy but are best if given some support{{pfaf1, 166}}. Any pruning is best done in the spring{{pfaf188}}. The seed only ripens outdoors in Britain in hot summers{{pfaf11}}. There are some named forms selected for their ornamental value{{pfaf202}}. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus{{pfaf200}}.
===Propagation===
Seed - sow spring in a greenhouse at 10°c. Two months stratification at 5°c assists germination{{pfaf200}}. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in a greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. Cuttings of almost ripe wood, 7 - 10cm long, July/August in a frame. Slow to root but a fair percentage{{pfaf78, 200}}. Root cuttings 5cm long in December. Fair to good percentage{{pfaf78}}. Suckers, removed in the dormant season.
===Pests and diseases===
[[Fungal leaf spots]], [[powdery mildew]], [[scale]] insects, [[mealybugs]], [[whiteflies]]{{AHS}}.
==Cultivars==
form 'flava' (syn. Yellow Trumpet) produces yellow flowers.
