attracts hummingbirds

After the flower heads drop, bean-like seed pods form on the vine. When the seed pods burst, the winged seeds are dispersed with the wind.
How to Care for Campsis radicans:
C. radican trumpet vine can be grown in most any soil type (chalk, clay, loam and sand). Can be grown in full sun to partial shade. A trellis is recommended. Water regularly. Choose a fertilizer high in phosphorus to encourage heavy blooming (balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer is recommended). Fertilize in early spring then again early summer for best results.
Germination Procedure:
Apply cold stratification for 2 months if not planting for overwintering. Once exposed to cold temperatures to break dormancy, surface sow the seeds. The seeds require sunlight to sprout. Likewise, gently press the seeds overtop pre-moistened soil, taking care not to bury them into the darkness when watering. Keep seeds and soil moist during the germination phase. Germination time: 45-60 days.
