A great vine for low-water area. Hummingbirds go nuts over it! Flowers over a long period. HOWEVER it suckers abundantly and will spread underground for quite a ways. Be careful where you plant it. The best planting I have seen was at the base of a pergola surrounded by solid paving. It was contained, covered the pergola and looked beautiful. Late to break dormancy.

I have a yellow one which is planted at the base of a strong arbor. I agree, it attracts humingbirds like crazy. Bees too! It has a wonderful frangrance and blooms well. I see them planted at telephone poles, which is not a good idea. They grow up over the powerlines and are very dangerous.

This is a very beautiful vine if planted correctly. As mentioned, it grows extensively, so plant it such that it can grow on a sturdy structure. The trumpet flowers are absolutely stunning and it flowers for quite some time. It does attract a great deal of bees, so be careful about where you plant it. Overall, it is a lovely vine.

The cons outweigh the pretty flowers. I would consider this invasive. A tennant planted this at our house and in one year it grew up the side of the house, tore the soffit, made pock marks all over the house from its succubuses, bored through the mortar and rotted out the wall, and sprouted new plants all over the yard. I have yet to figure out how to kill it. digging out the roots is very hard as they go deep and if you don't get it all it comes back. The only benefit to this plant is that it attracts lovely little bees and ants for pollination.
