Available for purchase are 15 seeds from a TRUMPET CREEPER Hummingbird Vine. This is a stunning U.S. native that grows larger every year. Hummingbids love the sweet nectar! Do not plant against a house with wooden siding, as I have made that mistake in the past. My daughter grows one up the trunk of a tall, dead tree that was cut down. It is the highlight of her garden. They are drought tolerant and will last a lifetime of beauty. The "strong shall survive" in my garden! You will appreciate my motto.
