| I have a trumpet vine that is 2 years old. It only has produced 3 or 4 flowers over the last 2 years. It seems to bloom right at the end of our growing season and the frost kills it before I can enjoy it. Is this the worng type of vine for our area or is there another problem? Also, I have to cut it to the ground each fall. |
| Brugmansia, or trumpet vine, is marginal in your climate. It needs direct sunshine and would probably do better in your region if it were planted against a south or west facing wall where it could receive reflected heat. Without a long, warm summer, it will refuse to bloom. You might consider potting it up and taking it indoors over the winter months, then placing it outdoors in the summer time. |
