Campsis x Madame Galen

Campsis x Madame Galen is a vigorous, deciduous climber known for its stunning, trumpet-shaped flowers. Blooming in late summer to early autumn, these large, orange-red flowers create a striking display against the plant's lush, dark green foliage. This hybrid trumpet vine is perfect for adding a vibrant splash of colour to walls, fences, trellises, or pergolas, where it can climb and spread to create a dramatic focal point.

Preferring a warm, sunny location with good drainage, Campsis x Madame Galen thrives in fertile, well-drained soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but benefits from regular watering during dry periods to establish a strong root system. This climber grows rapidly and requires sturdy support, with spacing of about 1-2 metres between plants to allow for its expansive growth habit. Pruning after flowering helps maintain its shape and encourages more prolific flowering.

At maturity, Campsis x Madame Galen can reach a height of 6-10 metres with a spread of 3-5 metres, making it ideal for covering large structures or creating privacy screens. Its vibrant flowers attract hummingbirds and other pollinators, adding wildlife interest to your garden. This robust and showy climber provides a long-lasting display of colour and texture, enhancing the visual appeal of any garden setting.
