Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • Description

  • Notes

Trumpet Creeper is a deciduous, vigorous twinning and clinging vine. Dark green leaves, coarsely toothed and pinnate; late to leaf out in the spring. Orange-red trumpet-shaped flowers appear in June and throughout the summer. Flowers are followed by long, bean-like pods. It needs substantial support to get where you want it to go. Will cover a pergola, fence, or garage. The car if you don't move it frequently.
