I planted it about 7 years ago to hide a storage building (red barn). I know it is invasive, but I do love the orange, red and yellow trumpet blooms and so do the hummingbirds. I do have suckers come up in places but we just mow them down. One day I may be very unhappy about them, but it hasn't happened yet! Here is a pic in 2002. It is the vine on the right side of the barn, almost difficult to see from the pic, but I really hate the barn!!! LOL |
