Can anyone provide directions on how to propagate trumpet vine? I am
fairly new to gardening and don't have much background knowledge on
the subject. We'd like to take cuttings from our neighbors vine,
clone it, and plant 10 - 15 starts at the base of our chain-link
fence. We'd like to cover the fence as quickly as possible. Thanks!

I've had real good luck just taking this years growth & laying it on
the ground with a rock on it. Next year it has rooted & I snip it
from the mother.

You could do the same with pots I suppose--- or try air layering,
though it doesn't look so pretty. [when the kids were in pampers I
used 1/4 of a pamper to air layer some plants.

DONT DO IT. plant clematis instead. they will eat your fence and spread out of
control. they are a weed. Ingrid

One man's weed is another man's cherished plant.
I still enjoy the bamboo and honeysuckle I've planted.

We have 12 different bamboo, two different Honeysuckle and two
different Trumpet Vines and love them all.

I've only got 7 different types of bamboo(but I do have one type of bamboo
planted in about 8 different places ) and one honeysuckle, so far. Haven't
got the trumpet vine yet, but I probably will have one after this winter.
