Comments (1)Hi Penny, Did you get your seeds? I don't have but I saw your name and I think we traded years ago...I've moved to Ontario, brought 200 potted perennials with me, they're over wintering in the field...can't wait 'till spring! It's nice being back on the forum.. talk soon Heather Macdonald...See MoreTrumpet vines pods
Comments (22)Within 4 years of spotting the original plant, I was fighting runners that had travelled 60+ feet. I know it was the same plant, because in trying to dig up the new ones, I was pulling up the runner all the way along the distance. Runners went out that far in all directions. Oh, and those were only the farthest outliers.... Literally hundreds of starts were coming up close and far, everywhere. The runners branched frequently, and crossed each other, and covered my world. Completely destroying the original plant [I don't want to get started on the difficulties there.] did no good. The runners were self-standing, and putting out more runners. On the parking lot side, the adorable little root sprouts *regularly* pushed their way through undamaged asphalt, many feet into the parking lot area. First a little raised dimple. Then larger. Then a crack. Then another trumpet vine. It laughs at Round-Up. Brush-Be-Gone will kill the one treated runner back, but not just by spraying.... You have to wangle continued application to the cut vine end. But then the rest of the underground system just puts out more runners. I know that some people have had reasonable luck with this plant, but I wouldn't take the risk if I were you. Here, this stuff thrives in good loam and in lousy clay subsoil and in beach-sand construction fill, in sun and deep shade, dry areas, damp areas, neutral and alkaline. Unless you are *absolutely sure* that this vine is an easily managed pussy-cat in your area, don't go there....See Moregeoforce
