I have a trumpet vine that I planted the first summer we moved to this house. So, it has been quite healthy for the past 5 summers, growing quite large. But so far, not one single flower!. I like it (a little) for what it is, which is a nice place for the birds to perch between feedings at my feeding station, but I would really like flowers!
It's South facing, and well supported, so it gets plenty of sun. I've tried watering lots, watering little, feeding some, feeding none, severe off season pruning, letting it be, everything I can think of. Does anyone have any ideas of what it is that I am missing? I bought it from Costco and split the original plant with others and theirs are blooming, so it's not that it was a male. I'm stumped and just about ready to dig it out in the fall.
