Hi Becky, Yes I do know about the Trumpet vine I have a huge one that I have trained and is so beautiful that it is worth the extra work. But I did warn Dad that they are pretty aggressive. Although not quite as bad up here as in the South I think. Also I'm wondering how long it would take for a couple of my runners to start flowering. I think I had mine 3 years before they flowered. I have a lot of MG seeds from several trades I did. Funny I was thinking about the MG but I never noticed the Hummers at my MG only the Butterflies. Although Dads main focus is Hummers I will be adding quite a few Butterfly attractors too. Which I know the hummers will like as well. Tall Phlox, Scarlet Milkweed and Bee Balm are a few that I already have.
