How to Grow and Maintain Trumpet Vines

The trumpet vine grows tall and stretches towards whatever structure is closest, so its vertical growth means you have more horizontal room in your garden! It is a great choice for the back of tight spaces and small gardens. This plant can easily grow up a trellis on a wall or porch easily, twining with its stem and wrapping with small tendrils aerially. If the space needs more support, you can use chicken wire to give the tendrils something more to grip onto.

Should you need a low-maintenance plant that can impress your mother-in-law or neighbors, look no further. This is the one. There is no need to fertilize this vigorous grower; this plant is a fast grower that climbs up its supports quickly. You do not need to water unless there is a drought. What more could you ask for?

Grab your favorite pair of garden pruners! This plant requires pruning every fall to keep its growth manageable. Cut back the stems hard – don’t worry, it will come back growing in full force! This will allow new growth, which will send out the blooms the following summer.

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Vines

Bare root vines arrive dormant, making them easy to plant and transport during cooler months. To grow them successfully, soak the roots in water for 3–6 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Choose a location with the right light exposure—most flowering or fruiting vines prefer full sun—and install a trellis, arbor, or support structure before planting.

Dig a hole wide enough to spread out the roots and deep enough so the crown (where the roots meet the stem) sits just at or slightly above ground level. Backfill with loose, well-draining soil, firm it gently, and water thoroughly. Keep the soil evenly moist during the first growing season to help establish strong roots.

Mulch around the base to retain moisture and prevent weeds, being careful not to cover the crown. As the vine grows, guide new shoots onto the support structure. Prune lightly after the first season to shape and remove any dead growth. With proper care, bare root vines will quickly take off and provide beautiful vertical interest in your landscape.
