The Chinese trumpet creeper produces beautiful colorful flowers and is easily cared for by regular water about once a week and providing average sunlight. These plants like to be fertilized, but only during active flowering periods and no more than twice weekly. Over fertilizing can cause these plants shrivel into a slant position.

In the juvenile stage of the Chinese trumpet creeper, the vine can grow several feet per year and needs o major maintenance. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove shoots growing in unwanted directions. This plant likes well-drained soil and partial shade to full sun. This is a deciduous vine.

Your Chinese trumpet creeper needs to be planted in partial shade to full sun. It grows best in zones 6-9. Each year prune off any unwanted shoots. This should be done in the spring or in the fall.
