Description

The listing, Live Heirloom Humming Bird Vine has ended.

this auction is for a 12"+ long rooted live plant, The original plant was planted in 1980 and you are getting some of the babies from it.
I have added a rubber band on the plant , below the rubber band is the tuber to be planted.

This is an Heirloom humming bird vine also known as trumpet vine or bugle its Botanical name is Campsis radicans it is a perennial and is very hardy will last through drought flood and fire the leaves may not but it will come back growing as soon as it can. The leaves grow ovate and opposite , , 3–10 cm long, and emerald green when new, maturing into a dark green. The flowers grow in groups of 4-12 flowers. It can grow quite high if you have it on a tree or house it will keep climbing until it is at the top and will be very beautiful on a trellis. It grows quite fast and will also help make a beautiful privacy fence or a beautiful vine to cover what ever you need it to. It attracts Humming birds with its bright orange color and long flower perfect for them. Birds also like to nest inside of it because it has nice dense foliage. The pods will come after the flowers they will start as green and when mature (about 5-6 inches long)will dry out turn brown split and hundreds of brown paper like seeds . This is a very easy plant to grow good for a beginning grower or an experienced one all you have to do is plant it and jump back. If you have any questions just ask :) and i hope that you will enjoy your beautiful tropical flowering vine -- If you do Gin you get 2 Humming bird vines
