 o
Trumpet Creeper and Chinese Trumpet Creeper

Posted by charles1218 8 (Alabama) (My Page) on

I would like to plant some trumpet creeper on a sunny fence and on some utility poles. I have what appear to be a wild red variety and a yellow variety on an existing fence (see images). Neither has what I would call prolific flowers. I'm debating whether to dig up some of the wild plants or ordering some Chinese trumpet creeper. I do want to attract hummingbirds, and I would like for the fence to be attractive. Which would be the better approach? If I just transplant some from the woods, what is the best procedure for transplanting?

Here is a link that might be useful: Top: wild plant. Bottom: existing plant on another fence
