Question

My triumphant trumpet vine is quite vibrant this year. This is the first trumpet vine I've had so was unaware of all the lovely permutations the flowers go through. The large pods were a surprise too.

Answer 1

Don’t let it get out of hand. They are quite capable of taking over large areas! They are also nearly impossible to get rid of once they get into an area.

Answer 2

It is a fun plant, and I pull/cut those sprouts up to 10ft from the trunk! My first seed pods were spiral, but never since, and pods seem to appear only every other year.

Answer 3

Very pretty. Birds love to build nests in between the branches

Answer 4

I have been trying to get rid of a trumpet vine for 35 years. they are hardy and invasive. Make sure you have root barriers to stop it's spread. It was too late for me since it had spread the length of my fence before I moved in. But on the upside it is pretty and the hummingbirds love it.

Answer 5

Just be aware that it is a strangler of trees & is non native. But it won't kill your house & the hummingbirds love 'em.

Answer 6

Just beautiful! I love that plant, as do hummingbirds!
