Trumpet Vine

Trumpet Vine

Trumpet Vine is a bold, deciduous climbing vine known for its rapid growth and spectacular floral display. From summer through early fall, it produces large clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of orange to red, creating a striking visual impact. These blooms are especially attractive to hummingbirds and pollinators, making the vine a lively addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. Its lush green foliage provides dense coverage, ideal for softening walls, fences, or arbors.

This vigorous grower is best suited for spaces where it has room to spread and strong support to climb. Trumpet Vine can quickly cover large structures, offering shade and privacy during the growing season. While its assertive nature makes it excellent for dramatic landscaping, it also requires thoughtful placement and maintenance to keep growth under control. Hardy and resilient, Trumpet Vine tolerates heat, drought, and poor soils once established, making it a dependable choice for tough garden spots.

Water regularly during establishment. Once established, it is drought-tolerant.

Pruning:
Prune aggressively in late winter or early spring to control size and encourage flowering.
