Often confused with honeysuckle by non-gardeners, trumpet creepers are native to the southeastern United States, it can grow to a total height of 25-40 feet, with a spread of five to ten feet for each vine.
This plant isn’t picky about soil types, doesn’t need to be fertilized, and while it does fine with little water, it’s happy in areas that are soggier, too. The trumpet-shaped blossoms are excellent for attracting hummingbirds.
After its bloom period, it goes into overdrive growth mode, covering fences and trellises quickly. Since these vines can grow to be so big and spread so eagerly, be sure to provide them with a sturdy structure to grow on.
