I Googled it and most people call it a vine but I did find this one hit where they call it a tree, with picture, but also say that it vines. I'm thinking it's one of those plants that you can train into a tree shape. It's beautiful nonetheless and hummers should absolutely love it.

Thank you, Mary. I must have googled wrong the first time cause I didn't see this. It looks just like what I bought.
Since it does vine, I am going to put it beside the new pergola I'm having built in two wks and will see what happens.

Oh do let us know. We would love a picture once it has twined into the pergola. Sometimes what once looked like a mistaken purchase can be re-branded, so to speak. Good luck!

Great to see your post! Keep them coming. :) Good job, Mary, finding the great pic too. I've always heard this plant just called "orange trumpet vine" (even though it also comes in yellow and in-between, LOL).

I bet it will be a nice climber for your pergola--sort of like how some wisterias are trained as trees and others trained as vines. We'd love to see pics and updates. I'm not currently growing it, but I have in the past and it does well in most parts of AZ as long as it gets regular water. There are some nice ones around the Phoenix area.

Good luck and I agree with your nursery person, that this is a good time of year to water it daily! :)

Take care and do keep us updated,
Grant
