More information

A vigorous and decorative liana, remarkable for its young black wood and its fiery red summer flowering. Its large trumpet-shaped flowers, which can be enjoyed from the first years, stand out beautifully against its bright green foliage. This bignonia climbs independently using its climbing root-equipped roots and quickly covers walls, pergolas or trellises in full sun. Easy to grow and heat-resistant, it provides a magnificent spectacle throughout the summer.

Description

Campsis × tagliabuana Ebony & Red® is an exceptional trumpet vine, combining vibrant summer flowering with lush foliage and original black wood. This vigorous climbing plant quickly covers walls, arbours and pergolas, colouring them with its large red trumpet-shaped flowers. Heat-resistant, easy to train and floriferous from the first years, it charms with both its graphic appeal and robustness.

Campsis × tagliabuana Ebony & Red® ‘Mincamroug13’ is a horticultural hybrid resulting from cross-breeding between Campsis radicans (North America) and Campsis grandiflora (East Asia), both belonging to the Bignoniaceae family. This cultivar was developed in France by Hortival Diffusion in 2023/2024. It is distinguished by its controlled growth, denser foliage, moderate fruit production and, above all, its black young wood and the luminous intensity of its flowering.

This climbing plant exhibits rapid and vigorous growth. At ten years, it reaches approximately 4m in height and 3m in width when planted in the ground. It climbs independently thanks to its climbing roots, which allow it to cling firmly to all types of vertical supports: walls, pergolas, arbours or trellises. The deciduous foliage is compound, consisting of long pinnate leaves formed of 7 to 11 lanceolate and dentate leaflets, of a bright and shiny green. It offers beautiful density and creates an ideal backdrop to highlight the flowering. This appears from July to September, sometimes until October depending on the region. The flowers, trumpet-shaped, measure 7 to 8cm long and display a bright, vivid and uniform red colour. They are grouped in sparse terminal cymes, but are remarkable. Very nectariferous, they attract numerous pollinating insects as well as hummingbirds in suitable areas. After flowering, a few rare fruits appear in the form of rigid and elongated pods, measuring up to 15cm long. The young stems are a lustrous black, later turning dark grey. Very hardy, down to -15°C, even -17°C depending on conditions, Ebony & Red® also tolerates heat and temporary drought well, and grows in all types of well-drained soil.

Spectacular in summer, the Ebony & Red® Trumpet Vine can be planted at the foot of a wall or above an arch. Its brilliant red flowering pairs well with matte or grey foliage, like that of a trained Elaeagnus ebbingei, and with light, pale blue or white flowers. It can be combined with a summer-flowering Clematis viticella, or a single-flowered climbing rose like 'Sally Holmes’ to enrich the scene without overwhelming it. It also finds its place in a more exotic setting, surrounded by agapanthus. When well-trained, it becomes a true element of plant architecture.

Planting and care

The Ebony & Red Trumpet Vine is an undemanding plant, but it dislikes heavy, compacted, poorly drained soils where moisture can stagnate. If your garden soil is too heavy, incorporate coarse sand or gravel before planting. It grows in any well-drained garden soil, even slightly chalky. It prefers a sunny position, 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 stake. Water regularly during the first summers, or during prolonged dry spells. The plant can tolerate moderate periods of drought once established, especially if planted in deep soil. In the first few years, protect its stump from severe frosts with a thick mulch.

Trumpet vines are often heavily visited by ants that come to collect sweet exudates produced by aphids that settle at the tips of the shoots, usually without harm to the plant. Powdery mildew can affect the trumpet vine. Watch out for the appearance of mealybugs and Metcalfa pruinosa, the white leafhopper, present in the south of our country.
