Trumpet vines (Campsis radicans) grow quickly, reaching their mature size in six months to one year. They can grow tens of feet in a year and can reach heights of 30 to 40 feet. Trumpet vines are woody vines with showy, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in the summer. They are attractive to hummingbirds and can grow in poor soils. Here are some things to consider when growing trumpet vines: Pruning: Trumpet vines need regular pruning to keep them under control. Fertilizing: Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers, which can encourage leaf and stem growth and discourage flowers. Instead, use a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer. Location: Trumpet vines need sun for good flower production, but can grow in part shade. They are best suited for planting at the base of an arbor or trellis. Soil: Trumpet vines can tolerate most soil conditions. **How to Root Trumpet Vine Cuttings** Propagating trumpet vine cuttings can be done any time of year, as the vines root readily. However, starting trumpet vine cuttings tends to be most effective from stems that are tender and flexible. Prepare a planting container ahead of time. A small pot is fine for one or two cuttings, or use a larger container or a planting tray if you plan to start several cuttings. Be sure the container has at least one drainage hole. Fill the container with clean, coarse sand. Water well, then set the pot aside to drain until the sand is evenly moist but not dripping wet. Cut a 4 to 6-inch (10 to 15 cm.) stem with several sets of leaves. Make the cutting at an angle, using a sterile knife or razor blade. Remove the lower leaves, with one or two sets of leaves remaining intact at the top of the cutting. Dip the bottom of the stem in rooting hormone, then plant the stem in the moist potting mix. Place the container in bright but indirect light and normal room temperatures. Water as needed to keep the potting mix consistently moist, but never soggy. After about a month, tug gently on the cutting to check for roots. If the cutting has rooted, you’ll feel a slight resistance to your tug. If the cutting offers no resistance, wait another month or so, and then try again. When the cutting has successfully rooted, you can transplant it to its permanent spot in the garden. If the weather is chilly or you aren’t ready to plant your trumpet vine, transplant the vine to a 6-inch (15 cm.) pot filled with regular commercial potting soil and allow it to mature until you’re ready to plant it outdoors.
