Trumpet Creeper (Hummingbird Vine) Plants
This product is rated 4.5 of 5.0 stars.
It has received 2 reviews.
Description
Trumpet Creeper Plants is a climbing plant whose flowers are pollinated by hummingbirds. If you plan to plant it in your yard, be prepared to see hummingbirds daily throughout the summer. It grows relatively quickly to cover fences, trellises, walls, or any other structure with a rich, green curtain of leaves and bright-colored flowers.
Trumpet Creeper Plants Lure Wildlife
The specific shape of the flowers is meant to keep the rich nectar out of reach of most insects and birds, except bees and hummingbirds. Although both hummingbirds and bees are their primary pollinators, hummingbirds appear to get most of the attention. Its flowers perfectly accommodate the hummingbirds' long-probing tongues and slender beaks. Every time the bird sticks its small head into a flower, it pollinates the next flower that attracts it. The flowers are ideal for attracting numerous hummingbirds to the general landscape.
Trumpet Creeper Plants Stunning Flowers
The exquisite tubular-shaped flowers are a wide range of colors, including reds, oranges, and yellows. They will bloom throughout the summer and early fall, although shady areas may not bloom as well as sunlight areas. After they flower, the vines produce pretty seedpods similar to beans.
Trumpet Creeper Plants Requirements
They are straightforward in growing and thriving in the sun and semi-shade. Even though it prefers good, well-draining soil, the flowers are resilient and flexible enough to adjust to virtually any kind of soil and will readily grow. Take care not to plant them too close to your home since the creeping roots can work their way under your home's shingles and cause significant damage to the foundation.
Trumpet Creeper Plants Maintenance
They don't require fertilizer and should only be watered as needed since they tend to grow rather vigorously. Once established, they are virtually maintenance-free for the most part. However, minimal maintenance does involve pruning them from time to time. Pruning them regularly keeps them under control. Pruning should be done once a year, preferably in the spring, and can be clipped back to only a few buds for great results.
