Trumpet Vine, Argentine Purple

Clytostoma callistegioides

$22.00 Sold out

1 Gallon | Hardiness Zones 8-10

This is a vigorous evergreen vine related to our native Crossvine. It bears glossy leaves and 5" long purple trumpet flowers in spring. It climbs by tendrils. It is relatively care free in warm climates but needs water in prolonged dry periods. A handsome and free flowering vine for zone 9 but worth trying in protected spots in zone 8. Native to Argentina.

Light Requirements: Prefers full sun to partial shade. For optimal growth and flowering, ensure the plant receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. It can tolerate partial shade but may produce fewer flowers.

Soil Requirements: Thrives in well-draining soil. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.5). Amend the soil with organic matter such as compost to improve fertility and drainage. It can tolerate a variety of soil types, including loamy, sandy, and clay soils.

Watering: Requires moderate watering. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply to ensure the root zone is adequately hydrated. Once established, it can tolerate short periods of drought but performs best with regular watering during dry periods.

Temperature and Humidity: Hardy in USDA zones 9-11. Prefers warm temperatures and high humidity. Protect the plant from frost and cold winds. In cooler climates, consider growing it as an annual or in containers that can be moved indoors during winter.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and abundant flowering. An additional application of compost or well-rotted manure can enhance soil fertility. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowering.

Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape the vine. Light pruning helps maintain a tidy appearance and promotes denser growth. Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.

Pests and Problems: Generally pest-resistant but can occasionally attract aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases like powdery mildew. If pests are detected, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
