I need advice on pruning Trumpet Vines (Humming Bird Vines). I have already cut the vine back to about an inch or two above ground, after it's first year of growth, last fall and mulched it. We had excessive snow this past winter. Will it come back, or have I killed it? I thought it was like my clematis, which I cut down each year.
When I was a child we had a trumpet vine growing up the corner of our house. We never pruned it or cut it down. They grow about roof high so dont plant one in too small a space and you'll be all right.
You can't kill a trumpet vine even when you try to. I live farther south than you and mine hasn't starting budding yet. If just a piece of the root survives, the plant will flourish.
