| Good luck trying to get rid of it. I'd been trying to kill one for the past 8 years and finally gave up. Now I'm just trying to keep it in one area. It takes a few years to bloom and needs full sun or you're just going to get foliage. The flowers really are very pretty, it's just so damn invasive here. Karyn  |

| Patsi, Mine took about 5 years to flower, full sun. That was when I lived in NY. Do a search here for trumpet vine, you'll get a kick out of some of the posts, and it'll put fear in your heart! LOL I'll never plant it again no matter how beautiful I think it is. chaz |

| Patsi, I posted a pic and ? on the perennial forum trying to id the plant I bought from walmart that didn't have a tag. One posted suggested it was campsis radicans, so I did a search. Some of the qualities are the same but some are still to be determined. Hee is a pic of mine, it is still in the pot and the flower isn't real clear (I'd take another one but there aren't any at the moment. I was wondering if you could send me a pic of yours even if it is just leaves so I can compare it with mine. I'm gonna go to walmart today and see if they have more and see if I can find a tag. Not that that means anything I have gotten so many flowers/plants from there and they are mislabled. Thanks in advance for any and all help. Debi

| If this is planted ina 5 gallon bucket, do you guys think that it would control the invasiveness? I want to pant this on an ugly rusted chainlink fence along the street which is maybe 50 feet from my house. The flowers are so beautiful and i have seen some beautful vines around the area. One looks like a tree and is planted next to someones house, others are really small vines that don't look invasive at all so i dont know. need advice on the bucket trick! I have no problem pruning as needed too. |
|
| u2dan The bucket won't contain it. If you live close to other people please consider them when planting this vine. It will eventually wind up in their gardens. |
|
| replied about maids plant on another post, just some infor for others here. The yellow trumpet vine pictured is not a campsis, it's a tecoma, not hardy in northern zones. enjoy it but be sure to bring it inside over the winter if you want it around next year. |
