A magnificent plant! It grows quickly and flowers superbly. The packaging was impeccable; it arrived in Ukraine in a week, in perfect condition. It is very frost-hardy. I highly recommend it!

Description
Campsis capreolata 'Tangerine Beauty' is a variety of climbing Bignonia with very bright orange flowers and a yellow throat, making it a spectacular climber when in full bloom. Like those of the species, its long trumpets release an amazing fragrance combining the round and indulgent notes of chocolate with the more bitter notes of roasted coffee. Its dark green foliage, tough and evergreen in mild climates, takes on beautiful purple hues in winter. A sturdy climber for not too cold climates, even dry ones in summer, perfect for climbing a tree or a large, somewhat sad fence.
The 'Tangerine Beauty' Bignonia is a variety obtained from Campsis capreolata, or Bignonia capreolata, a vine belonging to the Bignonia family and native to the warm and dry regions of the southeastern United States. It is an evergreen vine with woody stump and rapid growth, reaching 8 to 10 metres (26 to 33 feet) in height in a few years. The plant attaches itself to its support, using highly effective branching tendrils equipped with small discs that adhere like suction cups to the smoothest surfaces. The flowering of this 'Tangerine Beauty' variety is very long, starting in April in mild climates and continuing until July-August. The flowers bloom in dense clusters of elongated trumpets, 5 cm (2in) long, with 5 lobes. The tube has a very bright tangerine orange coloration while the throat is tinged with yellow. The scent is surprising and sweet, evoking both chocolate and coffee, like that of a toffee. The flowering is followed by the formation of 15 cm (6in) long pods. The foliage, normally evergreen, often becomes deciduous in cool climates. It is composed of leaves with several leaflets, some of which are in the shape of tendrils and allow the plant to cling. If it persists, the foliage takes on a slightly purple coloration in winter. The bark of this greyish-brown vine cracks with age.
Campsis or Bignonia capreolata 'Tangerine Beauty' can be used anywhere, to cover a wall sheltered from cold winds, an unsightly building, a south-facing facade, a fence, or a trellis. Its use for climbing a tree with light foliage (almond, locust) allows it to be left alone, without the need to prune it. This plant withstands 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, as it grows in well-draining and dry soils, even limestone or poor soils.

Planting and care
The Bignonia or Campsis capreolata is a plant that is undemanding on the nature of the soil. It grows in any well-drained garden soil, even quite poor soil and limestone. It prefers a sunny position. Plant it along a well-exposed wall or against a tree, guiding it on a support. Water sparingly in the first summers, the plant withstands prolonged periods of drought once established. In the first years, protect its stump from severe frost 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 recognisable by their split 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.
