Landscape Qualities

Flamenco Trumpetvine is a dense multi-stemmed deciduous woody vine with a twining and trailing habit of growth. Its average texture blends into the landscape | but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.

Ornamental Qualities

Flamenco Trumpetvine features bold clusters of red trumpet-shaped flowers with orange throats at the ends of the branches from early summer to early fall. It has dark green deciduous foliage. The large serrated pointy pinnately compound leaves turn yellow in fall.

Planting and Growing

Flamenco Trumpetvine will grow to be about 40 feet tall at maturity | with a spread of 24 inches. As a climbing vine | it tends to be leggy near the base and should be underplanted with low-growing facer plants. It should be planted near a fence | trellis or other landscape structure where it can be trained to grow upwards on it | or allowed to trail off a retaining wall or slope. It grows at a fast rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.

This woody vine does best in full sun to partial shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations | and should do just fine under average home landscape conditions. It is considered to be drought-tolerant | and thus makes an ideal choice for xeriscaping or the moisture-conserving landscape. It is not particular as to soil type or pH | and is able to handle environmental salt. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This is a selection of a native North American species.
