Frequently asked questions
How to prune a Campsis for abundant flowering? Prune short at the end of winter (February-March) — shorten all stems to 2-3 pairs of buds. Campsis blooms on the wood of the current year: short pruning stimulates many new flowering stems. Without pruning, the plant becomes tangled and flowers less.
Can Campsis grow in a pot on a balcony? Yes, provided you use a large pot (at least 40-50 cm in diameter) and install a sturdy support. Water more frequently than in the ground — pots dry out quickly in summer. Regular flowering plant fertilizer is essential in pots.

🧡 Spectacular bright orange trumpet flowers • 🌿 Vigorous climbing plant • 🐝 Honey-rich — attracts butterflies and pollinators • ☀️ Full sun • 💧 Regular watering • ❄️ Hardy to -15°C • 🐾 Non-toxic
The Campsis radicans 'Indian Summer', also known as the orange trumpet vine, is a vigorous climbing plant native to North America. Its large, bright orange trumpet flowers bloom abundantly from July to September — a late and generous flowering period that extends the summer season when many other plants have already faded. Its rapid growth covers walls, pergolas, and trellises within just a few seasons. H65 cm | Pot Ø15 cm on delivery.
Hardy, non-toxic. A reliable choice among climbing plants.
Which Campsis variety should you choose?
The Campsis genus offers several flower colors:
- Campsis 'Indian Summer' (this plant) — brilliant bright orange flowers, generous July-September flowering, very vigorous growth. The most spectacular.
- Campsis 'Pink Panther' — elegant and delicate pink trumpet flowers. The most romantic.
- Campsis 'Summer Jazz Fire Trumpet' — bright red flowers, more compact growth. The most intense in color.
- Campsis 'Summer Jazz Gold Trumpet' — luminous golden yellow flowers. The brightest.
Exposure & location
- Ideal exposure: full sun — a warm, sheltered location for maximum flowering.
- Ideal for: south-facing walls, pergolas, fences, and trellises on balconies or terraces.
- Support: trellis, wires, or training system required — provide a sturdy support, as the plant becomes heavy over time.
- Hardiness: down to -15 °C — can remain outdoors all year round.
- Soil: rich, light, and well-drained.
The warmer and sunnier the location, the more generous the flowering. A south- or southwest-facing wall is ideal. Good seasonal care starts with spring preparation.
Watering & care
- Watering: regular — keep the substrate slightly moist without waterlogging it.
- Frequency: 2 to 3 times a week in spring and summer, reduced in winter.
- Drainage: a pot with drainage holes is essential.
- Fertilizer: flowering plant fertilizer every 2 weeks in spring and summer.
- Pruning: light pruning in late winter — Campsis flowers on new wood, and short pruning encourages abundant flowering.
Late-winter pruning is the most important task — shorten the stems to 2-3 pairs of buds to encourage generous flowering. Good care practices vary with the season, following the care calendar.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Its large, bright orange flowers immediately create a Mediterranean and exotic atmosphere — a plant that transforms an ordinary wall or pergola into a holiday-like setting.
- On a pergola or trellis: let it climb freely — within a few seasons, it will completely cover a pergola and create a spectacular flowering canopy from July to September.
- As a pairing: combine it with a Hidcote Blue Lavender at its base for a highly honey-rich orange and purple Mediterranean duo.
- Contrast: its bright orange flowers stand out beautifully against a white wall, rendered surface, or light-colored finish.
Its late flowering (July-September) is valuable — it takes over when many summer plants begin to fade.
Verdeia tips
- Provide a sturdy support — Campsis can reach 3 to 4 meters and become very heavy. Install a robust trellis or wires before planting.
- Prune in late winter — shorten the stems to 2-3 buds in February-March. This is the key task for generous flowering — Campsis flowers on new wood.
- Be patient during the first year — during its first season, the plant develops its roots rather than flowering abundantly. From the second year onward, the flowering is spectacular. A few simple steps are enough to prepare it, just as with all plants in winter.
