Planting & Growing:
Flamenco Trumpetvine will grow to be about 40 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 24 inches. As a climbing vine, it tends to be leggy near the base and should be underplanted with low-growing facer plants. It should be planted near a fence, trellis, or other landscape structure where it can be trained to grow upward, or allowed to trail over a retaining wall or slope. It grows at a fast rate and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.

This woody vine does best in full sun to partial shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations and performs well under average home landscape conditions. It is considered drought tolerant, making it suitable for xeriscaping or moisture-conserving landscapes. It is not particular about soil type or pH and can tolerate environmental salt. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This is a selection of a native North American species.
