Very invasive here in Ohio…It’s beautiful but… you will be trimming frequently it grows quickly. It attaches to wood .

These are cool plants

Easy to grow from seed?

My mother-in-law planted one little plant 30 years ago and I'm still trying to eradicate 20 years after removal of the original plant. Finally got most of the remnants removed but it still pops up in other areas of the property. If you like a plant that will keep you occupied with yard work then trumpet vines is the one. Just remember you've been warned.

Wow!!!!!!

Anyone know if these vines would do well close to a pond? I have plenty of space to fill

This is soooo helpful !! Thank you so much. I would have loved to plant it in my garden but my garden is small and flowerbed is next to my house. I am very glad that i did my research before planting mine. I guess I will be returning mine. Very helpful video. Thank you 😊

In the 1940s we had one in our yard it was not growing on anything so it looked like a big bush ,my sister and I played in the center of the vine and played with the flowers .

love the tips on growing from seeds. can the matured plant roots be divided? if so when? thanks!

Well, that violin joke caught me mid mouthful of food. I was always interested to see how Ostrich fern would perform here in the PNW. I managed to acquire one from the legendary Judith at Fancy Fronds nursery ( also in this area ) so we shall see. I’m thinking it might tolerate a bit more sun here.This variety is labeled as ‘Jumbo’, so let’s hope it lives up to that!

I bought four trays of these and excited to put it on the ground

Another important reason people grow them is deer resistance!

Thank you, always informative.

I moved, was disappointed with the ugly chain link fence and was planning to get something else, didn't get to that project in time, before I know it, I have a gorgeous cascading waterfall of these flowers, and ugly fence is completely hidden with green screen! I'm keeping it!

Really enjoyed your video. I constructed a gateway trelus beside the house and it is coming up everywhere as you said. I'm going to dig up some shoots and plant along a fence way back from structures!

I do not plant any more. It seeds all over.

We have these growing on our property. They climb up the oaks. I was sitting out at the barn and noticed the blooms were falling to the ground at a rapid pace. I looked up and a tiny bird was plucking the blooms. He had no interest in nectar or eating them. Just pulling the blooms out. I wonder why?

Say wha? Mine only blooms 3-4 weeks max.

Just planted 2 good size specimens this Spring so hopefully we’ll see blooms this year!

Cool flower. Are they sharp? Look pointy 😂

If it’s a hybrid, what would the parent be?

I had no idea Vernonia liked wet soil. I had thought it needed dry soil, and it has done very well in bone dry soil (watered till established of course). I just planted one in a deep bed of gravel. lol

Look for its fruit. It looks like a small black pineapple. Only pull it off if it comes off easily otherwise you’ll waste it and kill the seeds. This occurs in September usually or late autumn. Once you have obtained a skunk cabbages fruit open it and clean off the seeds. The seeds must be kept in a plastic bag of water in the refrigerator all winter. Come spring they will germinate. You need a wet area or a pot or mud buried in the ground to grow them.

Wow, I never seen Campsus so mature! We rented house long time ago and house came with this plant hanging over the fence.Year later this plant climbed on the side of the house, chimney and inside a chimney like Santa at Christmas night😊. Had to call services to chop it down

Extremely invasive and chokes out native species. Avoid at all cost.

how can I get my hands on it?

could you do a top 10 biggest hardy perenials

We live in a society. I don't know why I'm surprised to hear this. It's the same self employed, very few like it when I get level with them and tell them off or just be direct. "If it's so easy and cheap, I'll pay you to do it " my personal favorite.

You said a couple times "native". Native to where? I'm in New Mexico and these are all over many yards.

Thanks. Might have these growing on the hill behind my house. Have to go check.

So wonderful to see your clips again. Long time fan.

This must be a different breed of trumpet vine, there is the yellow trumpet vine.

Trumpet vine is easy to control: just cut it back, often. Pull the new plants out of the ground when it shows up in the garden. A lawn mower cuts the vines along with unwanted oak or pecan trees. Definitely pull the seedlings out at the base of bushes, shrubs and trees. Oak trees can support its weight. It does well on chain link fences.

I’m in Zone 7a and a relative gave me a cutting. His tree is about 13 years old growing along a fence and into a neighbour’s backyard, it’s gorgeous, about 7 to 8 feet high and covered in flowers. The trunk is about 4 to 5 “ across and he seems to keep it under control. I planted it 2 years ago against a fence and the first year I saw hardly any leafs but this year it’s starting to grow up the fence . The leafs are still small but getting bigger and pushing through the wood fence into my neighbour’s backyard and is welcomed there. My question is when will the first flowers come out? Thanks !

I just purchased one and like a good plant person I'm looking up care after I purchased‼️🤣🤦‍♀️

I noticed you were holding different parts of the trumpet vine without gloves on, and I’m just curious which parts were toxic because I’ve read that these plants, including the leaves, are toxic to the touch. I did grab onto one in my backyard without gloves on before doing proper research and now I am worried that I might develop a rash. I did scrub it with some technu immediately, so just asking if you’ve ever gotten a rash from your handling of the plants? It was just the vine portion (no flowers) and it was fairly young as there was only a couple feet of growth. Thank you!

Can it grow in a large container? Zone 6

Invasive alien species!

I have a big one in my garden and indeed the flowers are beautiful and attract hundreds of bees when the sun shines. Unfortunately, some branches die one after the other and when I cut them off, the core of the wood is almost black. Any ideas what this may be?

I'm so sorry to say this but Why not plant native plants and shrubs they're already acclimated to their environment and ecosystem which benefit and support wildlife.

This plant is horrible; ugly and filled with large thorns. Spent hours removing this and now need to figure out how to dispose of it.

Reminds me of the Ratchpruek tree, the national flower of Thailand symbolizing royalty: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassia_fistula

Not ce

My kind of plant

Last year in UK my laburnum were covered in a rust spot type fungus and I had to defoliate the whole trees and burn the leaves. Same fungus also devastated all the poplar species in the UK.

I wonder if someone tried planting it to become a living structure. The way it covered that pergola reminded me of strangler fig.

I've been trying to kill this thing for 10 years. No luck

Don’t plant that stuff anywhere- anywhere- it’s not worth it, you can’t get rid of it. The wind and birds spread the seeds everywhere.

These showed up on their own in my yard

Thanks for sharing. I started seeds early spring and now have a dozen seedlings. How close do you plant them? Is your specimen from a single seedling? It’s gorgeous 😍
