The trumpet flower has an adventurous name. But surely you can already imagine why that is. Right, the shape of the flowers. These look a lot like trumpets. They are very pretty to look at and bloom in orange, red and yellow. The trumpet flower is particularly suitable for growing on pergolas.
The climbing plant conquers the climbing frame very quickly and makes a natural canopy possible in three to five years. It loves the sun and blooms more luxuriantly the sunnier the location is.
Pruning back shoots in spring
In spring you should cut back shoots that have formed the year before. This promotes an abundance of flowers and you can look forward to even more flowers in summer.
Trumpet Flower - Also suitable for house walls
Since the plant can grow up to ten meters high, it is also suitable for house walls. It has adhesive roots and can therefore hold on to itself, so it does not need a holder. Due to its size, however, it is also very heavy, which requires a stable framework when growing on a pergola.
