Label TextCampsis radicans, commonly called trumpet vine or trumpet creeper, is a dense, vigorous, multi-stemmed, deciduous, woody, clinging vine that attaches itself to structures and climbs by aerial rootlets. It is native to the southeastern U. S. Genus name comes from the Greek word kampe meaning bent in reference to the bent stamens on plant flowers and the specific epithet means having rooting stems.
