Growing Trumpet Vine from Seed in a Container to Control Spread

Container Strategy

Plant trumpet vine in a large pot (12+ inch diameter, with drainage) to contain its aggressive roots. Some gardeners sink the pot in the ground for a bed-level look.

Seed Storage

Dry pods thoroughly, remove seeds, store in ziplock inside a sealed container in the fridge for 3+ months. Sow next spring.

Hybrid Warning

If the parent was a hybrid, seedlings may differ. Cuttings preserve the exact variety.
