I just read about a plant I admire, the trumpet-creeper: “In the southern states an aggressive pest.” Strong statement. Certainly the vine growing across our front porch seems determined to get in the front door. It’s a handsome plant with its 10 inch compound leaves, each having seven to 11 leaflets. These leaflets have regular, saw-like teeth, and are opposite each other as are the leaves. The vine displays splendid symmetry.
The trumpet-creeper climbs by aerial rootlets that grow in brownish pairs along the stems. I brought a two-foot sprig of this vine into my study and am looking at it now. Toward the tip, the leaves are small, not more than six inches long yet tiny leaflets are perfectly formed.
Vines constantly seek light and space and, being vines, they must find support. The trumpet-creeper on my front porch has climbed up the house’s foundation, through, over and around the railings and right across the floor. I will have to trim it back eventually, I suppose, but I have fondness for the trumpetcreeper as I have for all native plants, especially vines.
