To Plant ot Not to Plant?? Trumpet Vine and Rose of Sharon

lydia1959

19 years ago

I started a Rose of Sharon and some scarlet trumpet vine from seed (bought off eBay). They are growing nicely in small pots in my kitchen window. Anyhow, I planned on putting the trumpet vine on a trellis and letting it grow up the side of my deck for the hummingbirds. The Rose of Sharon would get planted closer to the lake. My Mom said they were invasive and she wouldn't plant them at all. Now I'm not sure what to do? Would a clematis be a better choice for the trellis?

I live outside of St. Louis, MO.

This is an old thread, but I will reiterate: DO NOT grow any form of trumpet vine. I inherited mine with the house, and it has actually gone all the way under the driveway to invade a small garden by the mailbox. All attempts to eradicate it have failed so far. It grows on a lamp post at the driveway end of my long street-side border and has invaded a long way across. If it doesn't rain and the lawn doesn't need mowing, multiple shoots pop up through the grass. I hate the damned thing. Aggressive and invasive are too mild to describe it - it's virulent. It's a plague.

THE TRUMPET VINE IS A SURE BET IF YOU WANT IT TO GROW FAST AND REALLY COVER THE TRELLIS. IT IS VERY PRETTY AND WILL ATTRACT WILDLIFE. BUT........ YES. THEY ARE VERY INVASIVE. MY NEIGHBOR HAS ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HIS POOL IN HIS BACK YARD. IT IS NOT OVERLY LARGE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD IT IS BUT I HAVE SHOOTS COMMING UP ALL OVER MY BACK AND FRONT YARD FROM IT. THEY ARE NOT EASY TO PULL. YOU BASICLY HAVE TO MOW OVER THEM, DIG THEM UP, OR JUST KEEP CLIPING WITH TRIMMERS. SO. IT DEPENDS ON IF THIS BOTHERS YOU OR NOT. I LIKE THE LOOK OF THE VINE AND HAVE DECIDED IF YOU CAN'T BEAT 'EM JOIN 'EM. THE FEW THAT HAVE SURFACED IN AN APPROPRIATE SPOT I HAVE PUT A TRELLIS NEXT TO TO TRAIN BUT IT IS A VERY UNRULLY VINE.

Trumpet vine can go a little (or a lot) crazy, but they attract hummingbirds better than almost anything. Two aunts of mine had them in their yards when I was young and we loved watching the hummers when our family visited.

They kept them well, and didn't seem to have problems with them - wysteria is far more aggressive, just for comparison. But I love both, I have a wysteria, and would like to get a trumpet.

I've never heard of Rose of Sharon being invasive. And I can't get clematis to grow, though I've tried many, many times. The clematis also seems to be an extremely slow grower compared to other vines - but will probably do better in your locale than mine.

thinking of planting thornless rose vine by my pergola
Q

I applaud your eagerness, virtu, but I think you need to consider quite a few things before you plant anything. About those pots. Christopher is correct, you need something that will stand up to your winters. Do not use terracotta or any kind of ceramic pots. They will freeze and shatter probably the first winter. Find the thick walled foam or resin pots and go WAY BIGGER than you think you need. Roses grown in pots occasionally have to be root pruned and given new soil or they'll die. Root pruning means you have to take the pot off and cut back the root ball. That's going to be difficult to do with a 10 ft rose. The bigger the pot the less often you'll have to do that. I have 50 some roses in pots and in my zone 6 I root prune about every 5 years but it also depends a lot on the vigor of the rose you're growing. Roses also require pruning some times and particularly in cold climates where there is winter kill. It's going to be very difficult to prune them on top of that structure. Another thing is the pergola itself. What is it made of and is it going to need regular maintenance of some kind? You'll have to be able to remove any growth for that. Some things can be lifted and laid down for maintenance and then put back up. I know I've done that with clematis before in order to paint some posts I have it growing on. Roses tend to be stiffer though and that could be harder to do. You said there was soil at the base of the posts. How big an area and how deep can you dig there? It looks like you have patio block. You may be able to plant them there if they are small plants to start with. If they can still get water through the patio blocks the roots will be able to spread out beneath it. They'll really do better planted in the ground and will be way less up keep for you too. My other concern is sunlight. Looks like there's a big tree near by. How much sun does the area get? Roses need at least 6 hours of full sun and more like 8 to grow and bloom well. I'm not trying do dissuade you. I agree with you that it would be gorgeous. I'm just trying to make sure you enter this well prepared. It's always better to know what to expect and be ready to deal with it.

OT Hibiscus or rose of Sharon?
Q
Comments (11)
MIke lol....Yes I love that one too. That is why I tried to root a lot from that one. But this one just did not want to root. All I got moslty is the light pink/purple double ROS ardens one. Even the light pink did not want to root easily. About the sock MIke...I keep that in mind. No wonder Kristy and I are getting along so great hahahahaha hmm I just dug out something about the name of this shrub. Well I THINK, that a rose of Sharon falls under the more general species of Hibiscus? Could that be? I have 0 knowledge :-( But the old order for the rose of Sharon *Ardens*...now i have one name already :-) some 15 years ago says: Hibiscus.....rose of Sharon *Ardens* H. syriacus. Ok I am going to fix that in the trade list. Lucy

My Rose jungle is infested with Trumpet Vine
Q
Comments (19)
OK, responses to everyone follow. Here goes: @Seil I think it will bloom again, but not as profusely as it does in the spring. Actually it HAS to bloom again, as I moved in in July last year and it bloomed after that. But not as much as it bloomed this spring. Though that may have been due to the lack of care for the year or so before we moved in while the property was empty. @Joe Moose - was that Trumpet vine you did that to, or Virginia creeper? As I failed to notice that I have BOTH of them coming up in these roses. The pulled out stuff was trumpet vine, and some Virginia creeper. The stuff that is left is ALL Virginia creeper. @ fig_insanity - yes, I failed to notice, I have both. I'm not allergic to Virginia creeper - I AM slightly allergic to the trumpet vine. 2-4,D is what I was told to use to kill the Trumpet vine (except I'm not "allowed" to use it because it will allegedly kill the mother plant, which is not on my property), but that won't work for the Virginia creeper? What is a "real brush killer" then? @mad Gallica, fig_insanity, nanadoilZ7, Cecily - It is Virginia creeper in the pictures, but most of what I pulled out WAS trumpet vine. The mother plant is 30 or 50' away. It sprouts up everywhere between the back fence and the rose bushes. Its' a constant hassle. I hate the stuff. Yes, indeed, the suckers are (not almost) IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of. PLEASE tell me Virginia creeper is easier to destroy! @countrygirl - I don't know that I'll be here next spring, but if I am, I will cut the old canes out. @vasue - they're overgrown. You can't do anything around them and they rub up against the siding and damage it just from rubbing back and forth in the wind, which there is a lot of. I think 8' tall was conservative; they are grown up to the eaves, which has to be a good 10', what with the crawlspace. They were definitely planted too close together, given their mature size. Actually, they are probably even taller than 10" at their greatest extent, given we have 10' ceilings inside, plus the crawlspace. So the eaves are at least 11' or 12' above the patio. I guarantee, no mildew. It is extremely arid here - High Sierras Desert. We get 7" of rain per year. That is dust from the winds blowing the desert sands around. I do have a long reach pruner, but only one working arm. Hopefully my son can wiggle far enough in there (while I hold the thorny canes up) to cut what's left off at ground level, when he gets back from being out of town. The landlady has never lived here. She bought the place out of foreclosure. It had been totally neglected for at least a year, probably longer, before she bought it, and other than propping the rear fence back up (because the trumpet vine is pulling it down), she knows NOTHING about what is and is not growing here. Honestly, if the roses die - I'll just plant more roses. It would be worth it, not to have to deal with both trumpet vine AND the Virginia creeper in that part of the border. SO I DON"T CARE - if the roses die, they die. They can be replaced. The trumpet vine and Virginia creeper have to go, if at all possible. @toolbelt - can't really get in past the thorny overgrown rose canes to do that to most of what's down at ground level. We will try, though. @stillannt - Moving is the ONLY solution to trumpet vine, IMO. I am just really glad that we rent this, and didn't buy it. I know now to check for trumpet vine before buying anything, LOL! I love trumpet vine flowers and the way it attracts hummingbirds; but there are lots of other plants that attract hummingbirds that aren't nearly as troublesome. I'm just glad I never bought and planted it before I discovered its insidious evil. I would feel so guilty! I love mango - lived in Puerto Rico for several years. But I can only eat ONE raw mango, and that only if I very carefully peel it, cut it into cubes, and use a fork to pass it over my lips WITHOUT TOUCHING anywhere. If I eat TWO, I get sores INSIDE the mouth. So yeah - I'm allergic to that stuff. Thanks for everyone's input.

Trumpet vine gets REALLY big 20-40', and can send up sucker shoots from the roots. Try it in a container. Clematis would be more restrained- 6-10'.

Rose of Sharon self-sows- you can get 'volunteers' in your beds. But if you are not near a natural area, I wouldn't hesitate to plant it. They are/have developed varieties the don't seed.

I am a lover of invasive vines. Yes, they take work - until I moved I was owned by a trumpet vine 'tree', honeysuckle, ivy, morning glories and a wysteria.
The trumpet vine should be planted away from your house (it will climb into the eaves and under the shingles etc unless you are very very very careful - and why not just move it out further to let it do a little more of what it was designed for).
I kept mine restrained by scrounging up an old rusted antenaee tower (the kind to pull in tv stations that you can climb - either square or triangular). Most older houses do or used to have them. I planted the trumpet vine around it and then weaved the vine into the center. The vine will eventually get very woody stalks. Once it reached the top it began to fan out much like a weeping tree. You get to pick the height of your tree based on the height of your support. Then all it takes is trimming the weeping head of the tree to the desired length and it makes a nice umbrella canaopy. You can run the mower down around the base to keep the suckers under control.
Rose of Sharon is not as invasive but it too will send little shoots up around the base (either pull them up and place them in a bucket to share or mow them over). I wouldn't really call it 'invasive' here though (zone 5 ohio)
If trumpet vine were so 'terrible' I wouldn't be planning to repeat my endeavor - which I can't wait to get started on. I already have a 'new' antenae to use.

Don't plant the trumpet vine, it is invasive, it will go to seed, the birds eat them and take them to places where they take over and choke everything else out. but the choice is yours, if you do decide to plant it your ears may tingle a bit from time to time as I swear at anyone who planted it (as I am continually trying to eradicate it from my property, and it isn't fun!)
Ina Plassa_travis

trumpet vine is invasive in every sense of the word- the seeds are VERY viable, it 'runs' and will root at every node that touches the ground, AND it sends up shoots from the roots.

and it can damage clapboard, vinyl siding, and roofs in a single season- makes ivy look well-behaved.

it is, however, a really georgeous plant...and it does just fine in a 5 gallon bucket/planter in my yard :)

the Rose of Sharon, once it's mature and flowering, self-seeds pretty freely as well- which is bad if you're a nit-picky lawn person. not so bad if you have space to fill, or a hedge that you're not in a hurry for.

they're also fun to train into funny shapes, or braid three of them together and let them grow that way.

I personally would not plant either BUT,the trumpet vine is in a Never never category for all the reasons listed above. They can also try to come up UNDER your house as well as all the mischief they get into outside.
R O S is just messy and self seeds, if it is in an area that you plan to just mow like a meadow or something like that they are not bad. They just drop seeds all over the place and that is not as bad as vines that try to swallow the world. Halls honeysuckle is as bad if not worse than the trumpet vine. It is amazing that it is still legal to sell the stuff.

I live in Kansas City, which I believe is almost the same as St.L, insofar as growing is concerned. I bought my home almost 3 yrs. ago. There is an extremely established Trumpet Vine in my yard, and I despise it. I pull, dig and even sprayed (once) to no avail. It grows like crazy, sending shoots under my driveway. I would strongly suggest something less invasive for your trellis. Cardinal Climber is a nice hummingbird companion, and since it is annual here, you can have the quick growing results without the stress you will surely experience for years to come from the Trumpet vine. Believe me, in a few years, you will rue the day you planted the Trumpet Vine.

I was thinking of planting one to. Can you embed a fairly large pot to where only the rim of the pot is showing? Would that tame the roots to a point where you would only have to worry about the seeds? I know this is probably a stupid question as I've never gardened before. C Smith

I agree with just about everything bad said here about trumpet vines. Very invasive. Wouldn't have (another) one.

Rose of Sharon is a very nice shrub for my area and does not come up wild here, but other people on the GardenWeb have written about having problems with it.

Good luck

I am one of those people that love so-called 'invasives' like honeysuckle, mint, rose of sharon, mimosa, mulberry, ivy, roadside daylily, etc. They are all easy to control here in the Ozarks if you just hack them back where you don't want them - they are always healthy and vigorous and beautiful.
But...I have just about been defeated by trumpet vine. It is beyond invasive. My kids and I have decided it actually tries to murder the other plants around it - it ties them up and pulls them down under all its beautiful, healthy foliage. I have spent hours freeing my formerly big beautiful honeysuckle vine, and young rose of sharon trees from its death-grip. It literally bends them up into a bundle at its feet...I just can't tell you...
It also spreads more prolifically than just about anything else - at least equal to mimosa and mulberry, way beyond honeysuckle. I really don't know if it is worth it to grow this thing. I inherited this one, but I DEFINITELY wouldn't plant it. It does bring hummingbirds, though.
Also - it lets out some kind of poison when you pull it or chop it. I keep getting a sore throat and cough every time I attack it. Does anyone else have this problem?

Trumpet vine, aack. We have several places around our house where a trumpet vine is climbing the siding and digging under the eaves. What a nightmare. I don't mind it back on our brush pile Â it camouflages it a bit Â but the darn thing spreads EVERYWHERE. The ones next to the house have to go!

As for Rose of Sharon Â I have one growing in a bed where I don't want it, and I'd like to move it to a new location. I figured I'd place it in a place all its own, in an "island-type" bed, so that I can mow closely around it as needed. The flowers are so gorgeous! We've got one with white flowers, and one with lavender; both traveled over to our yard from the neighbors all on their own. The neighbors apologized, but I don't mind Â as long as the plants are under control.

Mulberry, now that's a whole different thing. We're going to have to take a backhoe to ours. Stupid thing just won't die! (grumble)

Can't say anything about trumpet vines as I have never had one and after reading all these posts, don't think I ever will! :)

I have had R O S for many years and have not found them to be invasive at all. Guess I'm lucky. I really love their flowers. I planted 6 of them at our old house about 15 yrs. ago and just drove by there a few weeks ago and they are at least 15 feet tall. I have two planted now that have been in the ground about 3 years and they're close to 5 feet tall now. I love them.

I also started out with two very small Rose of Sharon bushes, purple and white, about 20 years ago... I now have a couple of hundred from 2 inches to 10 feet, from white to purple and everything in between, including the most beautiful pink I have ever seen in any flower... The seeds, most definitely, are a problem but I've found that if you cut the seeds off before they completely mature it does cut down on the ones you have to mow over, use the hoe on or pull out... I usually trim the bushes every fall and try to get all the seeds... I wouldn't plant one anywhere I can't use my hula-hoe... And yes there are sterile types but you're stuck with the colors you start with... LOL

I have double Rose of Sharon in white, mauve and pink. They also come in a lavendar. Mine do not have seeds, but are easy to root if you want more.
I agree with most--I hate trumpet vine. They were growing high in our oak trees, so I cut the stem. The ones in the tree died, but they are coming up all over the yard from the roots. I have tried everything to kill them--yes-even brush killer. It will kill the leaves, but they come right back up.They are EVERYWHERE!

Please heed all this advice and don't plant the trumpet vine. It might attract hummers, but it also attracts every insect in a 10 mile radius, wasps, ants and a million other ones I can't name. The flowers fall all over the place. And you'll find volunteers all over the place.
My neighbour had it on her side when we put our new fence up 2 yrs ago. For the first year it was all right, but this year it has totally taken over. It's coming up all through my flower beds.
I'll be spending the next few years of my life trying to eradicate it. I'm praying I convince my neighbour to join in the battle and pull hers out.
Another word of caution, it can get quite heavy and start dragging down trellis, fence ect.

I wouldn't worry with the trumpet vine since they can be so invasive. I have one but it's waaaaay out on the barbed wire fence near the road.

I love my Rose of Sharon shrubs. And so do the birds, butterflies, and hummers. We do have a few babies come up but we have enough room to just keep planting. I also give the tiny ones to my family members. I have beautiful white and lavendar.

This board has been very helpful! I was mowing the yard for the first time this season and was suprised to find about 50 ROS volunteers poking out of the ground... I transplanted 5 of them, and now that I know that yes I do indeed have the self sowing kind I will have many more to come.. I love their color, and blooming season.. I will be transplanting more of them along my fence line tonight!

I also have a trumpet vine along my back fence that I have no idea how it got there.. I bought my house 3 years ago, and put the fence up new. (It borders an alley) So far this spring I have sprayed roundup brushkiller on the entire back fenceline (both sides) the ivy and what I'm SURE is the trumpet vine are still going like gangbusters, even though the pig weed on the alley side is now gratefully dead.... now that I know the trumpet vine is not going anywhere I may just let it go and enjoy its beautiful orange flowers.

So does the trumpet vine spread by seed or root nodes? I just bought one for my mother and haven't planted it yet. Will definately plant in a container after having read about it's invasive nature. I may just smother the thing if I find out that the seeds will spread it.

ROS - GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

I actually do like them, and I deadhead mine and keep it well behaved. My neighbor on the other hand should be banned from growing anything and everything.

He grows roses. But God forbid he knew how to prune those things! But that's another horror story...

He grows a ROS. Only a chain link fence separates my veggie bed from his blasted ROS. It's unruly. It's ugly/misshapen. It has hundreds of seed pods. I've tried to tell him that he needs to prune it. I've told him that those seed pods need to be removed. I've butchered each and every piece that dares to creep over my veggie bed through the fence. I've pruned it as much as I could from my side. I've removed as many seedpods that I could reach. There's just soooooo many.

So, once again, I'll be removing hundreds, if not thousands, of seedlings. I'm already off to a good start, but dreading all of the seedlings I'll encounter from now until frost. I've even removed some of the larger seedlings that I can pull through the fence.

Then the whole me-pruning and removing spent pods cycle will start all over again.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr...

That's really bad news. I just planted trumpet vine last season not realizing it was so invasive. I've seen it around town and admired it's beauty. We have a telephone pole right next to our house. I figured it would be the perfect thing to cover the pole and attract hummingbirds. But now it seems like I should move it.

I read this thread and have seen the question asked many times but no one has answered it. What if I plant the vine in a container and bury the container in the ground. That should do away with the sucker problem. How much of a problem is the reseeding aspect?

Then again, the pole is next to my house and my cutting garden, it might just have to go.

Too bad, too. It's a beautiful plant.

btw, I love my Rose of Sharron and welcome the volunteers that I get and don't mow over.

on my aunt's farm she had a 6' chicken wire fence to keep the chickens out of the house yard. she had Honeysuckle on part of that fence and it attracted Hummingbirds and bees. it is a much more delicate plant that emits a honey like smell. as i remember there were no shots and it stayed on the fence. Honeysuckle is a perennial.

I'm confused about what "invasive" means. This is a native plant, at least in much of the eastern U.S. Can a native plant be considered "invasive" in its home range? What keeps the trumpet vine from overpowering everything in its home range, like kudzu has done? Or does "invasive" mean only outside its home range, like here in Oregon where it is not native? I'm genuinely puzzled.

the flower from rose of sharon is beautiful but my neighbor Monique is lazy and does not dead head hers, it spreads everywhere even her own lawn has about 900 seedlings in that area,and they do not care. They are inconsiderate. I had to pull 275 shoots from my grass and now they planted them along the fenceline...I'm sure i will have at least 700 to pull next season. Nothing you spray on them make them die..The seedpods are still there from last year and they dont trim them either. They also have a birch tree that spews seed pods for months clogging my pool, gutters, and branches fall continuously all season long from those trees.I have pulled tons of seedling trees from that as well in my landscape, very invasive! If it was the other way around she would be going ballistic! May the wind blow their way and have them have to clean up after their own problems. Plenty of other plants to plant but they are wealthy and very very cheap.

My neighbor has had a trumpet vine growing over their garage which is on the property line. They just cut it down. I have a large beautiful garden which is now overrun with the runners of this devil plant. It's in all my flower beds. It grows in my decorative grasses so I'll spend this summer digging up my perennials to remove the runners and then have to replant everything all over again. NEVER PLANT A TRUMPET VINE!

I have a trumpet vine at each end of my yard and they are just gorgeous. They grow very vigorously but don't spread and I've had no 'volunteers' in other places. My only comment is that one of these vines has gorgeous vibrant red flowers and on the same stem bright purple ones as well. No one - including several garden professionals - has ever seen anything like it.

If it has not been said firmly enough I'd say it again. NO TRUMPET vine!.
When I used t sponsor seed swaps I always trashed any trumpet vine seeds. The roots seem to be able to travel very long distances and push up even through paving.
