Growing Requirements for Trumpet Creeper Vines

Trumpet Creepers are hardy in USDA zones 4-10.
They will require a support structure to grow on, and it is a good idea to have this in place before planting. Trumpet Creeper vines are happy to climb over arbors, trellises, fences, walls and even high up into a tree.
They will attach themselves to the support with aerial roots along the stem, but you should add supplemental ties until the roots get a good grip, especially in wind prone areas .

Plant your Trumpet Creeper where it will receive full sun to light shade for most of the day.
They should be grown in reasonably rich, moist,well-drained soil.
Water regularly and thoroughly during the summer months.
Feed monthly during the growing season, with a good, all purpose fertilizer.
Pinch back the tips of new growth frequently to induce bushiness.
To keep your established Trumpet Vine contained and promote better flowering, prune the vines back
to a few buds each in late winter or before new growth starts early in the spring.
Remove seed pods as they form to extend the blooming season.
Trumpet Creepers bloom on new wood from the current year.
Propagating Trumpet Creepers and Growing them from Seed...
Sow seeds directly into your flower garden after all danger of frost has past and the soil has warmed. Plant seeds 1/4" deep.

I would love to grow these but I don't know if they will survive the Texas heat and cold spells

These little suckers grow everywhere down here!!!
Right down the road from me there is a sand patch, and I mean pure sand patch!!!
Only sand nothing else, and they grow right there every year!
The have grown up into the oak trees along the fence line also!
One time it was so hot everything looked like it was going to die even the mesquite trees.
and those little buggers were flowering like crazy and it was bone dry and in the full hot 105 degree sun!!!
They should do just fine.
