Campsis grandiflora, commonly known as the Chinese Trumpet Vine, is a fast-growing, deciduous creeper with large, orange, trumpet-shaped flowers in summer. It can grow to a height of 10 meters. A native of East Asia, China and Japan it is less hardy than its relative Campsis radicans.[1]

Campsis grandiflora prefers moist, nutrient-rich soil and a position with full sun and support to climb. The dark green leaves have serrated edges.[1]

Synonyms include Tecoma grandiflora, Campsis chinensis, Campsis adrepens, Bignonia grandiflora and Bignonia chinensis.
