Yellow Trumpet Creeper

Hi Redrobin,

Thank you so much for reaching out with your thoughtful question about your Yellow Trumpet Creeper! It’s wonderful to hear you’re paying close attention to your plant’s growth. Those large pods you’re seeing inside the flowers are the seed pods of the trumpet vine. They indeed contain seeds that can be planted if you wish to propagate more vines.

You have a few options: you can let the pods mature and fall naturally, allowing nature to disperse the seeds. If you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can carefully remove the pods once they’ve dried, take out the seeds, and plant them in well-draining soil, keeping them lightly moist until seedlings emerge. Just be aware that trumpet vines can be quite vigorous, so once established, they may spread quickly — many gardeners find that keeping just one plant trimmed and controlled is often enough to prevent overwhelming other plants.

Hi Nattie,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the Yellow Trumpet Creeper! We're delighted to hear how quickly it’s taken off and admired how proficiently it covers your fence or trellis. You brought up a great point about regular trimming—indeed, this vine can be quite vigorous, so frequent pruning helps keep its growth in check and maintains a beautiful, neat appearance.

If you ever want tips on the best times or techniques for trimming, we’d be happy to help. Typically, pruning in late winter or early spring encourages healthy growth for the season. Also, monitoring for suckers around the roots can prevent unwanted spread if that becomes a concern.
