When is the best time to transplant trumpet vine?

Question

and how should you go about it?

Answer 1

As with most plants, fall is a good time for transplanting. But trumpet vine is really stubborn and hard to kill, so don't worry too much about messing it up. I have them in my backyard and am planning on getting rid of them and replacing with honeysuckle since it has thrived so much more than I had expected. Cut off the roots with a shovel and dig it out. Be aware that the babies will continue to grow in it's place unless you dig them up or continue to kill them after the parent is gone. They have long running roots and can grow pretty far from where they are planted (my neighbor's repeatedly invades my garden)

Of course you could always take the humorous approach. If you want trumpet vine to grow, just try to kill it. You're guaranteed fresh new growth!!

Answer 2

The best time to transplant a trumpet vine is in the early spring, before too much stem and leaf growth has occurred. If you wait until early fall, the leaves might not have fallen yet; and if you do so anytime in the fall, the root system will not have enough time to to recuperate for the long winter.

Answer 3

Those are about as close to a weed as you can get without actually being a weed. If it's been established for a year or so you should have new plants coming up from underground rhizomes. It's very easy to cut the root that connects the "parent" to the "babies" with a shovel. Once you cut it off from the parent, let it grow for a month or so to make sure it is still growing on its own. Once you see new growth continuing you can dig it and transplant it to wherever you want.

I've got them all over from one original plant. I even have new ones coming up in the lawn and have to mow them every time I mow the lawn. Don't let them get away from you--keep 'em under control.

Answer 4

Transplant between November and March.Choose a sheltered site in full sun.
The soil should be well-drained with an addition of manure.Cut back the newly planted specimen to within 6 inches of ground level to encourage basal growth.
Hard-prune established plants in February, cutting back the previous year's shoots to within a few inches of their bases. Tie stems to a support.

If you take one of the leads and partially bury it, (not the tip)it will form roots and can then be cut from the mother and transplanted. You could also use an air layering method.

Answer 6

Place a 8" pot with half full of potting soil next to the live vine..Roll a loose vine in, and out of the pot..Then finish filling the pot with potting soil, and water the potting regularly..In a couple of months it will take root..Cut the two ends about 6 " above the pot..Move the potted plant to partial shade,..Till it starts to thrive.This works with any vine including Roses..

Answer 7

the best time replant is in the spring so it has plenty of time to re-root before the freeze.

Answer 8

In the fall, when the sap goes down.
