[edit]My trumpet vine hasn't bloomed in the past two years, any ideas?
- Hmm, normally they're pretty energetic; lack of some nutrient perhaps? My reference book doesn't mention anything specific. Stan 18:59, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Are you near the northern limites of its range? Pollinator 02:42, Jul 6, 2004 (UTC)
I hope someone out there has some ideas because mine hasnt bloomed either. I live the southeastern part of Michigan
- I live in NC close to the VA border and they are vining well and look healthy but no flowers.
The hummingbirds love to hang out on the arbor amongst the leaves anyway. So far I feed 9 of them.

[edit]The main article makes no mention of the light requirements of the Trumpet Vine. If someone reading this knows this information could you please add that to the main article. I'm looking for a vine other than the English Ivy that does well in a mostly shady area. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.79.9.59 (talk) 23:39, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Trumpet Vine Tendrils
[edit]I've had a trumpet vine for many years. It does not have tendrils. It does produce short modified roots which attatch to wood or siding (not brick). Apparently they attatch to tree bark in the wild. In contact with such a surface these roots seem to produce an adhesive substance which fastens the vine to that surface. This material is difficult to remove from siding etc.
A new Trumpet Vine will take about four years to flower, and should flower reliably every summer thereafter. When pruning, remember the vine flowers on old wood. The vine is also very deep rooted. I've moved mine successfully, but only with a great deal of digging. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acme Gridley (talk • contribs) 04:06, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
It's not southeastern, it's just plain Eastern!
[edit]I've found trumpet vines that look just like it with no non-similarities in Ohio! --TZLNCTV (talk) 15:27, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
Photo is not C. radicans
[edit]The flower photo illustrating this article does NOT show the species Campsis radicans; it is either C. grandiflora (the Asian species) or more likely one of the hybrids between the two. 160.111.254.17 (talk) 17:16, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
