Large trumpet-shaped flowers in warm shades of salmon-red to orange with rich gold deep in the throat appear in loose, drooping clusters throughout summer and into early fall, creating a long-lasting spectacle that hummingbirds find irresistible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hybrid between the American trumpet vine (Campsis radicans) and the Chinese trumpet vine (Campsis grandiflora), Madame Galen inherits the hardiness and vigor of its American parent with the larger, more brilliantly colored blooms of its Chinese parent. The result is a vine that is more free-flowering and produces bigger flowers than the straight species, while being somewhat more restrained in its spreading habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pinnate, glossy green foliage is lush and attractive through summer, with up to 15 small leaflets per leaf creating a fine-textured curtain of green. In fall, the foliage turns golden-yellow before dropping. Decorative bean-like seedpods follow the flowers and add winter interest on bare stems. This vine climbs by aerial rootlets and attaches firmly to masonry, wood, and other surfaces, making it ideal for walls, pergolas, and sturdy arbors that can support its considerable weight at maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMadame Galen Trumpet Vine Care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun for the heaviest flowering. Partial shade is tolerated but will reduce bloom production. Madame Galen grows in most soil types and actually performs best in lean, average soils. Rich, fertile soils promote excessive vegetative growth at the expense of flowers. Well-drained conditions are preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season. Once established, Madame Galen is drought tolerant and thrives in hot, dry sites. Avoid heavy fertilization for the same reason rich soils are discouraged — too much nutrition pushes foliage growth over flowering. A light application of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/almanacplanting.com\/products\/slow-release-fertilizer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eslow release fertilizer\u003c\/a\u003e in spring is sufficient only if growth seems genuinely slow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMadame Galen blooms on new wood. Prune in late winter or early spring by cutting branches back to within three to four buds. This encourages compact growth and promotes flower bud formation. Remove overcrowded, damaged, or wayward stems at the same time. Provide a sturdy support structure — this vine becomes heavy at maturity and can damage weak trellises or fences. Avoid growing on wood siding, as the aerial rootlets can damage surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSize\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Size is the Madame Galen Trumpet Vine for Sale Online?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Madame Galen Trumpet Vine ships in a greenhouse-grade grow pot and is appropriately sized for its container at the time of shipment.

Trumpet vines are among the top plants for attracting hummingbirds.
