No trumpets on my trumpet vines.
A year ago spring, in S. Florid, I planted two troupe vine plants at
the base of a fan trellis. Last summer they grow about 6 feet and did not blossom. I felt that was probably normal for the first year. This year, the vines won;t stop growing, I have to keep cutting them back. However, I can't find a single bud on them. Anyone know why?

The short answer - because you keep cutting them back. Trumpet vines like to climb tall trees and bloom in the top. |

It is my understanding that trumpet vines bloom on last year's wood, so
if you cut off that wood, the vine will not bloom. Also, I found that my trumpet vine produced more blooms when I cut back a nearby tree, thereby giving the vine more direct sun. Hope this is helpful, Gary |

Trumpet vines flower on new growth. It may take a few years for
flowers to appear. Height and or/trimming/not trimming wont affect blooming. Dont fertilize them, and wait a year, they will eventually flower. Toad |
