Trumpet vine

Description:

Trumpet creeper is a vigorous fast-growing vine with red (or rarely, yellow), tubular, 3-inch flowers throughout the summer. It will climb quickly over structures and nearby trees, attaching by aerial rootlets. It grows in moist woods and forests throughout the Southeast U.S., in Texas west to Central and South Texas. Trumpet creeper is fairly drought tolerant, and in good soil with moisture, it can become invasive and overcome smaller plants, spreading by root sprouts or layering. Its flowers are attractive to hummingbirds.

Habitat:
