Trumpet vine (Campsis radicans) is a climbing plant that acts as a magnet for hummingbirds, which are attracted to its nectar-rich tubular flowers. You can even grow trumpet vine in pots to attract hummingbirds into smaller spaces, provided you manage the vigorous climber properly.
The climber has a reputation for its aggressive growth, but that doesn't mean growing them in pots is a pipe dream. There are more compact varieties suitable for large, sun-soaked containers. Give them the support, watering, feeding, pruning, and winter care they need to perform, and you can get a vivid display year after year.
