Backfill with soil, tamp lightly, and water well.Trumpet vines in containers need time to establish good root systems– prune back early foliage frequently to encourage more root growth and to discourage tangling of the vine. Keep an eye on it– even trumpet vines in pots can put down roots elsewhere and spread beyond your control.What problems does trumpet vine have? Its main issue would have to be its aggressiveness.

Pruning should be done in the late winter or early spring. For mature plants, trumpet creeper tolerates heavy pruning to control its spread and maintain a desired size. Prune annually, spur-pruning lateral shoots back to within two or three buds of the main stems. Remove weak and diseased growth. It is almost impossible to prune this vigorous plant too much. Trumpet vines bloom on new stems, so prune early in the spring before growth starts. Cut the plant back to nearly ground level, leaving only a few buds. It is also okay to cut back in late autumn after the leaves have dried and fallen.Trumpet vine winter care should include pruning all of the stems and foliage back to within 10 inches (25. Reduce all side shoots so that there are only a few buds on each. As always, remove any dead or diseased stems at the base.
