A wild vine may climb a utility pole, 30- 40 feet in one year. The late horticulturist Dr. J. C. Raulston at\u00a0 NC State University in Raleigh recommended its tamer Chinese cousin (<em>C. grandiflora<\/em>) and the cultivar \u2018Morning Calm\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Trumpetvine climbs and supports itself by strong rootlets or \u201choldfasts\u201d. Start one on a cedar pole, tying the shoots loosely with cotton cord. Within one year the vine\u00a0bonds solidly to a wooden trellis, wire fence, or a coarse\u00a0surfaced brick wall. The trellis should be structurally strong to support the vine\u2019s incredible growth and weight.<\/p>\n<p>The 7-9 leaflet glossy compound leaves are 6-12 inches in length.\u00a0The vine\u00a0blooms on new growth and the trumpet-like flowers are clustered in numbers from 6-12, sometimes more. The dark apricot colored flower (corolla)\u00a0appears from late June\u00a0thru\u00a0mid- August. Each trumpet flower measures 3 inches in length when fully open.<\/p>\n<p>Trumpet vine grows in average garden soil, is very heat and drought tolerant, and has few enemies. The vine should be pruned aggressively in late winter. Trumpet vine benefits from liquid feeding with Miracle-Gro\u2122 or an equivalent fertilizer containing minor nutrients.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Morning Calm\u2019 attracts numerous butterflies and hummingbirds and is often falsely marketed as \u201chummingbird vine\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our\u00a0native trumpet vine, aka trumpet creeper (Campis radicans), may instill fear in gardeners.
