Planting

From Early Spring TO Late Spring

Plant in Spring in a sunny spot in any fertile, moist free-draining soil against a south or west facing wall or fence

 

Propagation by seed

From Early Spring TO Late Spring

Sow seeds under glass in Spring in moist compost. Do not let the soil dry out.

 

Propagation

From Mid Autumn TO Late Autumn

Campsis can be propagated by hardwood cuttings. Cut well-ripened young shoots 30-60cm long (1-2ft). Dip the cut end in hormone rooting powder before inserting it 15-20cm (6"-8") deep into soil in a cold frame. The following Autumn plant the young plants out.

Campsis flowers are borne on the new season's growth, and appear in late Summer and early Autumn
