Hibernate climbing trumpet
With the exception of young, not yet lignified climbing trumpets and the not hardy Chinese climbing trumpet, you can easily overwinter trumpet flowers outdoors. It is important that the plants have a protected location and are protected from very cold temperatures by a layer of leaves and / or brushwood. Young climbing trumpets only develop their resistance to cold with age - the more woody they are, the less sensitive they are. Chinese climbing trumpets, on the other hand, should be kept cool but frost-free under cold house conditions - a winter in the A heated living room is not advisable, temperatures between 10 to 12 ° C and a bright one are ideal Cookie.
