The listing, Red Humming Bird-Trumpet Vine Seeds has ended.

Red Humming Bird-Trumpet Vine 20+ Seeds.
Easy to grow, like full sun. Mine grow up on a trellis.
Humming birds love these flowers and in the winter you will have plenty of seeds for future plantings.

Trumpet creeper can be germinated by cold moist stratification for up to three months or by planting outside in the fall. Planting the seeds close to the soil surface improves germination because more light is available. Hummingbird vine germination is hit-and-miss, however, with only a 60 percent success rate. You might have more luck with transplanting. Hummingbird vine can be grown from a cutting and tolerates any soil unless it's wet and heavy. This vine is hardy to -30 degrees F and is very drought tolerant.

Because of its invasiveness, be careful where you plant it. If it's next to a tree, it will ultimately strangle the tree. It can get out of hand if it's planted by a house or building. Plant where it has room to roam--along a fence, path or stone wall.
Regularly trim back your hummingbird vine plant in both spring and fall to help shape and control it.

A few quick questions, please... Are the seeds fresh? Last falls pods? Did they stay on the vine through the winter? Do you live where you have a winter? I looked but could not find what state you are in. I was researching this and discovered it's hard to grow this plant by seed, it's better to start from suckers from the original. Did you plant by seed? Thanks :)

Hi, These seeds are from the late fall of 2013, from the high desert of New Mexico where it does snow during winter, zone 5. Yes, these do grow from suckers and the and from seeds. My plants are old and I have to pull out new plants in the yard where seeds have blown. So, no problem with growing from seeds. Please check the zone you live in........Thanks for asking. Happy May 1st...
