Campsis x tagliabuana Madame Galen

Madame Galen Trumpet

A vigorous yet more refined trumpet vine hybrid, prized for its large salmon-orange to coral trumpet flowers with softer tones than typical Campsis radicans. Blooming in mid to late summer, flowers are borne in showy clusters and are highly attractive to hummingbirds and pollinators. Dark green, pinnate foliage provides dense cover, while the hybrid habit is generally less aggressive than straight C. radicans.
