Care essentials
Grow in full sun to partial shade; at least 6 hours of direct sun promotes best flowering. In NE Florida, some afternoon shade is acceptable and can reduce heat stress during peak summer.
Water regularly after planting to establish, then reduce to occasional deep watering. Once established, Lavender Trumpet Vine is drought-tolerant and thrives with minimal irrigation in NE Florida's warm, humid climate.
Prefers moist, fertile, well-drained soil but adapts to NE Florida's sandy loam. Fertilize in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Prune hard after summer bloom to control vigorous growth.
