Summer Jazz™ Fire Trumpet Vine (CAMPSIS SUMMER JAZZ FIRE)

If you love the vertical drama and hummingbird-magnet power of traditional trumpet vine but worry about it taking over your garden, Summer Jazz™ Fire Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans) is the answer you have been waiting for. Growing into a far more compact frame than older wild varieties, this tidy climber reaches just 5 to 6 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide, making it perfect for training up trellises, fences, patio arbors, or growing in large containers. It demands full sun—at least six hours of intense daily light—to produce an astonishing flush of fiery orange-red, trumpet-shaped blooms from midsummer straight through early fall. The rich nectar inside those bright clusters turns your yard into an active sanctuary for visiting hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies all season long.

What makes Summer Jazz Fire such an outstanding choice for local mountain landscapes is its tough, heat-tolerant nature paired with built-in critter resistance. Once established in well-drained soil, it handles summer heat and dry spells like a pro while holding tight to its vertical structure. Even better, local deer and foraging rabbits naturally avoid its coarse foliage and woody vines, meaning those vivid red flowers remain safe from hungry garden pests. Give it a light pruning in late winter or early spring to shape its frame, and enjoy an easy-care, big-impact show of tropical-looking fire in your garden year after year.
