Here my honeysuckles bloom all summer into fall far longer than the trumpet vine when I had it in my garden, they stay where you plant them. I don't think even a five gallon bucket with the bottom cut out would contain the trumpet vine over the long term of years. Honeysuckle vines are a hummingbird magnet over a long bloom season from when the weather is warm and they leaf out and soon start blooming on established plants until frost ends their season. They do take a couple of years to get well established well worth the wait. Trumpet vines take years before they bloom at least mine did and then a much shorter season then became a thug and wanted to take over the garden and beyond.
If you want to be happy for a lifetime plant a garden!
Faith is the postage stamp on our prayers!
