Scarlet Trumpet Vine

This is a vigorous, fast-growing vine that can reach up to 50 feet at maturity. Because of its rapid growth, it is best suited for large structures like sturdy fences, walls, or expansive arbors where it has plenty of room to climb.

Yes, this species is more cold-hardy than many other tropical vines and can withstand light freezes down to 25°F. If you live in a region with colder winters, it is best to plant it in a protected spot near a wall.

Yes, it uses tendrils to climb, so it needs a structure to grab onto. It is excellent for covering fences, walls, or arbors, but it will not climb smooth surfaces like glass or flat siding on its own.

Because it is a fast grower, annual pruning is recommended to keep it tidy and manageable. The best time to prune is immediately after the plant finishes its flowering cycle.

Yes, the Scarlet Trumpet Vine is an evergreen, meaning it will retain its green foliage year-round. This makes it a great choice if you are looking for consistent screening or privacy throughout all four seasons.

For the best flower production, plant it in a location that receives full sun. It thrives in soil that is kept consistently moist but well-draining.
