Description

"Campsis × tagliabuana is a hybrid cross between Campsis radicans (American trumpet vine) and Campsis grandiflora (Chinese trumpet vine). It produces trumpet-shaped, orange-red to red flowers (to 3” long) which appear in loose, somewhat drooping clusters (cymes) throughout the summer. It is a woody, clinging vine which attaches itself to structures and climbs by aerial rootlets. It rapidly grows 15-25’ high and produces compound, odd-pinnate leaves (to 15” long) which are shiny green above and glabrous below. Each leaf has 7-11 ovate leaflets. Flowers are very attractive to hummingbirds. Flowers are followed by long, bean-like seed pods which split open when ripe releasing numerous 2-winged seeds for disbursal by the wind.

Genus name comes from the Greek word kampe meaning bent in reference to the bent stamens on plant flowers.

Hybrid name honors the brothers Alberto Linneo Tagliabue and Carlo Tagliabue who were Italian nurserymen.

‘Madame Galen’ is a popular cultivar that produces cantaloupe-orange to salmon-red flowers." (missouribotanicalgarden.org)
