Trumpet Vine

This is a very vigorous grower. Once established, it can quickly cover structures, reaching heights of 30 to 40 feet, so be prepared to prune it back annually to keep it within your desired space.

Because it is a woody, aggressive climber, it can potentially damage wood siding or delicate structures if allowed to grow unchecked. It is best suited for sturdy supports like heavy-duty trellises, arbors, or chain-link fences.

While it needs regular water when first planted to get established, it becomes quite drought-tolerant once it has taken root. It is generally low-maintenance and adapts well to most well-draining soil conditions.

Yes, it is a favorite for hummingbirds. The large, trumpet-shaped orange flowers are specifically shaped to accommodate their beaks, making it an excellent choice if you want to invite more pollinators into your garden.

While technically possible, it is not recommended for containers due to its size and aggressive root system. It performs best when planted directly in the ground where it has room to spread.

For the best flower production, plant it in a spot that receives full sun. It will tolerate partial shade, but you may see fewer blooms compared to a plant grown in direct sunlight.
