The listing, Organic Hummingbird Vine ✽ TRUMPET CREEPER ✽ 10 Seeds has ended.
These are seeds from a TRUMPET CREEPER Hummingbird Vine. This is a stunning U.S. native that grows larger every year. Hummingbids love the sweet nectar! Do not plant against a house with wooden siding, as I have made that mistake in the past. My daughter grows one up the trunk of a tall, dead tree that was cut down. It is the highlight of her garden. They are drought tolerant and will last a lifetime of beauty. The "strong shall survive" in my garden! You will appreciate my motto.

This Auction: You will be receiving 10 seeds from my
garden. They will be sent First Class mail in a standard envelope, wrapped with a napkin, and taped down. If you would prefer a padded package for these more delicate seeds, you can Paypal me $1.65 for the shipping fee. I have never tried these by seed, so you may want to research it further. They have been dry stratified and are ready to plant.
Propagation Method: Sow seeds shallow in soil 6 weeks before last spring frost. Sow 3-5 seeds per pot. About 10 days before the last spring frost, begin hardening the plants to the outdoors. Transplant your plants to a sunny location.
