When and how to prune a trumpet vine – to keep these vigorous climbers under control

Orange trumpet vine flowers covering a wall.

Trumpet vines, also known commonly as Campsis, are vigorous vines that dazzle with bright orange and red trumpet-shaped flowers from midsummer through into fall.

A failure to trim regularly can lead to plants getting out of control and even damaging fences, decks, or structures due to their aggressive growth habit.
