It's incredible how they start to bloom while still small relative to their mature size even when treated as annual because of zone. I've got 4 Datura metal 'Belle Blanche' but don't detect any fragrance even when I stick my nose in bloom...LOL. Looking at Datura meteloids 'Evening Fragrance' but like bloom shape of 'Belle Blanche' better. The difference is slight so don't know why I'd have preference but I do. Doubles are pretty and that's what I originally wanted but once 'Belle Blanche' bloomed I was taken with beauty of bloom's graceful, pointed simplicity. Fragrance or scent? What a conundrum. Maybe some of each but that means more pots to water so they're in sunlight. Got doused by collected moisture in blooms first morning I deadheaded...LOL. Bonus is no critter eats the plant! BIG bonus. Enjoy your surprise "vine"!

You will need lots of patience with these, I have a climbing Japanese Hydrangea, been planted for roughly 10 years. It was a very small plant when I bought it, more than likely a rooted cutting. The first couple of years it just sat and sulked, the next couple of years after making it's mind up that it wasn't going to die it put on a couple of inches of growth. The next couple of years the foliage took on a healthy look, but still didn't put on much growth. I didn't pay much attention to it the next couple of years. Last year and this it has decided to actually grow a bit, still no flowers, I hope to see at least one flower before I croak. These climbing Hydrangeas are simply gorgeous when they do decide to do there thing. Annette

did you put root horomone on them first?? then in the soil?? i have rooted in both. but i like the soil, then filtered light and misted. same with confederate jasmine if i was to give it a try. i'd also use stay green aqua control soil. don't know why but for me that stuff is awesome!! ~Medo

It is trumpet vine, Campsis radicans, and is native to the eastern US, NOT Venezuela!! It is a very aggressive spreader once established and will send out shoots from its root system over a considerable distance. Many who have planted this in a small garden find this extremely problematic as these shoots will pop up everywhere, even through cracks in paving and in any nearby planting areas and long after the original vine has been cut down or removed.
