Red Trumpet Vine
Campsis tagliabuana 'Madame Galen'
- Campsis Madame Galen is a vigorous, self clinging woody climber with vibrant orange-red trumpet shaped flowers which have golden yellow markings inside and are up to 8cm long
- Extremely free flowering from June to September
- RHS Award of Garden Merit winner
- Low maintenance - this plant is pest and disease resistant and needs no feeding or pruning
- Attractive to pollinators
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out
