When is the best time to transplant trumpet vine?
As with most plants, fall is a good time for transplanting. But trumpet vine is really stubborn and hard to kill, so don’t worry too much about messing it up. I have them in my backyard and am planning on getting rid of them and replacing with honeysuckle since it has thrived so much more than I had expected. Cut off the roots with a shovel and dig it out. Be aware that the babies will continue to grow in it’s place unless you dig them up or continue to kill them after the parent is gone. They have long running roots and can grow pretty far from where they are planted (my neighbor’s repeatedly invades my garden) Of course you could always take the humorous approach. If you want trumpet vine to grow, just try to kill it. You’re guaranteed fresh new growth!!
