Plant Spacing

Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:

bush distance

Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

More Information

Description Clusters of orange, trumpet-shaped flowers steal the spotlight as they bloom on Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans). The long-lasting floral display is irresistible to pollinators, especially hummingbirds! This vine looks attractive, even when flowers aren't in bloom. Pinnate leaves are glossy dark green on top and a muted green underneath. As blooms fade, attractive seedpods take their place. Trumpet vine is hardy, heat-loving, fast-growing, and requires a strong support structure to hold its heavy branches. It can reach up to 40 feet in optimal growing conditions. If you don't have a vertical climbing structure, use it for erosion control as a ground cover in areas with room to roam. It may take a couple of years to blooms, but when it does, you won't be disappointed with this choice! Details How To Grow

I’ve ordered lots of plants from great gardens and I’m always pleased. Only one plant has died and great gardens has offered to replace it. I will continue to purchase plants from this company.
Thanks for the great service

Fast-growing is an understatement

The plant arrived healthy, looking great. Within a day of putting it into the ground, it has sprouted new leaves. They weren't kidding when they say that the trumpet vine is fast growing! I can't wait for next spring
