Do you clip the old growth off before spring reemergence?

I have one for 5 years. It groans so slowly. Just not worth it

So apparently it's edible and comparable to soy

They spread via runners. I just don’t recommend planting it at all. Practically ruined my yard.

Great video! I am from South Georgia and I bought two of these plants to pair with my Hosta. I didn't know what I was getting. I love the foliage of the plant. But now it's blooming so I had to search to see them in full bloom and to learn.more about them. Now I know what to expect.

Plus spreads like weeds

I have been removing trumpet vine for 20 years I won't ever recommend that stuff but if your neighbor has it you and the entire neighborhood will have it.

I have a beautiful 15' one in my front yard with an old tree truck as support. It's amazing! I simply mow the starts and prune it down in height once a year. It's over 30 years old, never given me trouble, I love this plant!

I have one on a trellis that I have been growing for about five years. I couldn't believe how big the stem was on the one in the video. Mine probably hasn't gotten as big as it could be because I have kept it pruned, but last year I only pruned it lightly and and added a panel to the trellis and it was much more vigorous and produced many more flowers than ever before. I am contemplating adding one more panel since I don't plan on much pruning this year either. Glad I got to see this video. I was stunned at how big your is.

Bees also like it so don’t plant it near an area you may not want bees to visit.

There was a trumpet vine on the back corner of my house when I moved in 35 years ago. I'm still trying to kill it.

I want your hat

I have lots of ferns that grow and are native to Aylett Virginia but not sure if it is the ostrich fern. How can I tell it from others to see if it is fiddlehead so I can harvest it

I've learned to keep it far enough away from structures to be able to mow it down (it does grow into the lawn etc.) Have a lot of humming birds as a result.

i read somewhere that all parts of the plant are poisoness.

It looks like a beautiful plant but yes a lot of work to maintain . 🤔 And I absolutely love hummingbirds . 😍 This plant would have to be continuously trimmed back . 🤔😕🤔 Something I already do with other plants in my yard . 🤔 I just got some seed pods from my neighbor thinking about where to plant them and if I will be planting. 🤔 I also know that it is extremely toxic to humans and animals if ingested . 😮 Would not want this in my yard with my dogs.🐕 Trimming and maintaining it would be the key to not spread and overtake your yard or your neighbors . 🤔

We were visiting our grandmother in a small town in northwest Kansas in 1963. She was a live in caregiver in town, but we went back to her place further out of town. As we drove up to the front of the house she remarked that the trumpet vine that died off during the 1930's Dustbowl had come back and appeared to be growing on the front porch trellis! Hardy survivor? I guess ! A three decade dormancy is something to take note of.

hey Connecticut! that's where I am so this is great..

Just wear gloves if you have to touch or prune them. And keep your pets away from them. But we can still enjoy them. I have them all over my yard without any problems.

I had those huge vines all over my trees and couldn’t get rid of it in Texas but when we got snow it killed all of it - even killed the moss but the bad part was ,it killed all 15 of my loquat trees and several cedars along with about 5 oaks

I wish it were true in my case. I saw it for the first time in my dentist's office (outside the window). It looked gorgeous and when i heard that it is native, attracts Hummingbirds, i went home and ordered one online. I planted it in a very large, barrel like container and in full sun. It has never bloomed and this is the 4th year😢. It has only modest growth in June July August. This year the growth was better. Reached top of trellis (portable 4 ft high) but no flowers! I bring it into the frost free part of the garage for the winter. I am in zone 5 ( chicago suburbs). So disappointed ☹️

In Southern Maine we kept it on a trellis near the front porch. After thirty years, we took it down. It is vigorous, and it is less of a nuisance if you have a deep freeze for several months in the winter to keep it in check.

Well described. Thank you.

This plant will take over your garden in a short time. It has underground roots that travel far and shoots out anywhere, in addition to the baby plants that are spread by seed thanks to the birds. I’ve been struggling with these plants for over 12 years. I’ve paid thousand of $$$$ for gardeners and landscapers to remove all roots just to have the plant pop out somewhere else in the garden and it grows so fast, so aggressive. I don’t recommend it even in pots. Running bamboo is easier to control than this. Like a good weed, it doesn’t die. It is death-proof.

Excellent video/ information. Thanks!

Great explanations.

I think you just saved me and my house. Thank you

It's not invasive in South Lake Tahoe ;)))) SNOW keeps it low.

I love my Trumpet Vines. No Problems

I saw this bush in a park and was amazed. It has better defense than barbed wire and keeps its leaves throughout winter, So I propagated some cuttings. One cutting made it and now I have my own bush but never knew what the hell it was until now (well a friend photo/googled it on her phone app). It has everything, shiny evergreen leaves, flowers, berries and works as a screen and a great defense whilst looking quite innocuous

This is a bignonia indian summer.

They can take the full sun in Alabama ?

My Alaskan Shasta Daisy's and other varieties of Shasta grow from October through the winter and all the way till this summer and still blooming...4 ft high. I'm in Northern California Humboldt county by the Sea and Redwoods. It's rainy and damp from fog. They thrive!!! The daisy's grow wild all around here in Mckinleyville California. Growing in my front and backyard. 🙂🌲😂💙🙌

Thanks for the heads up ! Can they be successfully grown in pots to avoid over abundance?

Another WARNING is these strikingly beautiful flowers are high in belladonna alkaloids like scopolamine and atropine, much like Jimsonweed and Deadly Nightshade, and can be very dangerous if accidentally ingested by pets or children. CAUTION!

I like to know where to Purchase it?

This is SO INVASIVE. It is SMOTHERING all the trees where I live and killing them. I live in Zone 7. It is AWFUL - please avoid!!

❤Thsnk you! Very informative! O e popped up in my yard, but i didn’t know how to handle it.❤ It’s a beautiful vine!

Thx

It's poisonous?

In the central valley of CA these trumpet vines bloom all summer long!

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 .
