| Hi
I want to plant a violet trumpet vine to cover a nasty chain link fence. The violet trumpet vine seems to be the answer I am looking for: fast growing and relatively easy care. Full sun. Sandy soil. But I want to make sure this type of trumpet vine is not invasive. I have read so many horror stories about trumpet vines, and some conflicting info. I just want to be absolutely positive that this will not take over my yard if given ideal conditions. Or if there are any other suggestions I am totally open. I might actually prefer something a bit more drought tolerant if it exists. |

| I haven't personally grown this variety as it's not hardy in my zone but I don't believe it's invasive like the orange trumpet vine (Campsis radicans). The Cross vine (Bignonia capreolata), which I do grow, hasn't been a problem. |

| I grow this one and it's not invasive like Campsis vine is, BUT - it grows to a MASSIVE vine before it blooms. I cut mine to the ground this past Monday - WOW - what a chore!!!! |
