Must Know Plant Care Tips: As mentioned, Trumpet Vine will easily take over your landscape if it gets the chance. If you do want it to be part of your landscape design, you must plan to prune it regularly to combat the lively growth it will experience each year.
Plant Problem Solver: Trumpet Vine not only creeps above ground, but its roots do, too. Trumpet Vine roots have been known to cause damage to home foundations. The vines themselves will creep underneath the shingles of your roof if they reach it. To combat this problem, do not plant Trumpet Vine too close to your home. For the best enjoyment, plant it out away in your yard nowhere near the house.
Pretty Pairings: Trumpet Vine must have an arbor or other structure to climb, and this is the best pairing you can offer this hardy plant. It also attracts hummingbirds, so plan to enjoy the show!
