Questions and Answers
Trumpet Creeper is great for hummingbirds, but it should be planted in lawns or other places where its spread can be controlled. It will need something to climb, such as a trellis. If you mow around the plant, it should stay where you put it.
It spreads by underground suckers and aerial rootlets. The rootlets can damage brick and wood over time, so keep it away from your house. Its ability to spread and root easily makes it a good plant for erosion control.
In addition to attracting hummingbirds, it is a host plant for the Trumpet Vine Sphinx Moth or Plebeian Sphinx.
Uses: Hummingbirds, host plant, erosion, deer tolerant
Bloom time: June to August
Height: Up to 35 or 40 feet
Space: 4 to 8 feet
Sun: Full sun to light shade (more sun = more flowers)
Moisture: Dry to moist
Q:
Will this plant be happy in a planter with an obelisk or trellis to climb, so it doesn't spread?

A:
We haven't tried it. The planter would need drainage holes and would need to sit on a deck (or something) in order to prevent the roots from creeping through those holes and into the yard. It can spread quite a ways via the root system. It also spreads by dropping thin papery seeds that are wind-dispersed. And the vining portion of the plant can set root if it ever has good soil contact, but pruning can take care of that.

Q:
Do you carry any Honey Suckle vines whose blossoms are AROMATIC. I can not find any of the non-invasive Honey Suckle that truly are aromatic.

A:
No. The species we carry aren't famous for aromatics. I think our grape honeysuckle (Lonicera reticulata) is probably the most fragrant one we offer right now. Hopefully we'll have some this fall.
