Trumpet vine twining direction

10 years ago

I just bought and am trellising a Madame Rose Trumpet Creeper.
Can someone tell me if Trumpet vines twine clockwise or counter clockwise?
I want to trellis it growing in the right direction.

Thanks

It will twine any which way - wherever the side cells touch a solid surface - so it doesn't matter - just tie it which ever way you like it best.

Trumpet Vine does not depend on twining for growth, it grows clinging roots to hold itself up.
