Plant in good condition but not very big. It took well and by the end of its first summer it had grown a bit.

Description
Campsis capreolata 'Atrosanguinea' differs from the typical climbing trumpet vine only by its very dark red flowers, illuminated by yellow flags. It is a large climbing vine that blooms from April to July and then in September with long trumpets that release a unique fragrance, combining the round and sweet notes of chocolate with the more bitter notes of roasted coffee. Its foliage, tough and evergreen in not too cool climates, is dark green and has violet reflections in winter. Undemanding in terms of soil type, perfectly resistant to drought, moderately hardy, it will thrive in full sun or partial shade in hot climates.
Campsis capreolata is a species in the Bignonia family, native to the hot and dry regions of the southeastern United States. It is an evergreen climber with a woody stump and rapid growth, reaching 8 to 10 meters (26 to 33 feet) in height in a few years, even more in the wild. The plant attaches itself to its support using highly effective branching tendrils equipped with small discs that adhere like suction cups to even the smoothest surfaces. The flowering period is very spread out, starting in April in mild climates and continuing until June-July, then blooming again in September. The flowers bloom in the axils of the leaves, in dense clusters of elongated trumpets, 5 cm (2in) long, with 5 yellow lobes and a very dark red-purple coloration in their tubes. Their surprising and sweet fragrance evokes both chocolate and coffee, like that of a toffee. The flowering is followed by the formation of 15 cm (6in) long pods containing the seeds. The foliage, normally evergreen, often becomes deciduous in cool climates. It is composed of leaves with four leaflets, the two farthest from the stem being thin tendrils that allow the plant to attach itself. If it persists, the foliage takes on a slightly violet coloration in winter. The bark of this climber is a greyish-brown colour and cracks with age.
Campsis or Bignonia capreolata 'Atrosanguinea' can be used anywhere, to cover a wall sheltered from cold winds, an unsightly building, a south-facing facade, a fence, or a trellis. This plant can tolerate short periods of freezing temperatures around -12°C (10.4°F) and absolutely needs to be protected during the first years of cultivation in cold climates. This is its only requirement and probably its only weakness. It grows in well-drained and dry soils, even limestone or poor soils, which do not prevent it from flowering joyfully.

Planting and care
Bignonia or Campsis capreolata is a plant that is undemanding in terms of soil type. It grows in any well-drained garden soil, even if it is quite poor and limestone. It prefers a sunny exposure, except in the south of our country where it will thrive in partial shade. Plant it along a well-exposed wall or against a tree, guiding its first steps with a support. Water it moderately during the first summers, as the plant can withstand extended periods of drought once established. In the first few years, protect its stump from severe frosts with a thick mulch. Pruning is not essential. If necessary, you can do it in spring. In August-September, remove the faded branches as well as the oldest shoots, which can be recognised by their cracked bark.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
