Wintering a Trumpet Vine (Campsis) in Coastal NC

In-Ground Hardiness

Trumpet vine (Campsis radicans) is hardy to Zone 6. In coastal NC (Zone 8a), it survives winter in ground without protection.

If You Must Move It

• Prune back to 3 ft.

• Pot in large container; place in sunny, cool (40–50°F) location.
• Water sparingly.

Recommendation

Leave it in ground. Mulch base heavily. It will resprout vigorously in spring.
