Landscape Uses
Trumpet Vine makes a good cover for fences and walls.  Once established, the vine needs no attention.  Trumpet Vine is similar to Cross Vine (Bignonia capreolata), but Trumpet Vine blooms later in the summer.  Plant them together and there will be reddish flowers from early spring to mid summer.  The flowers will attract hummingbirds.
