Tarantella is a novelty from Holland from 2008. It is a trumpet vine hybrid with large, soft peach-red flowers very similar to Madame Galen variety. The difference between these two varieties is that Tarantella makes shorter and stronger new shoots which makes it a medium-sized climber with not too weeping new shoots. It starts flowering in early July until continues until last warm and sunny days of autumn.

Its deciduous leaves are pinnate, deep green and very attractive. Pruning is a crucial issue with this plant if you want a nice one. It flowers on current year’s growths so it is desirable to have plenty of new branches. Therefore cut back last year’s branches to 2-3 pairs of live buds after danger of frosts (usually in April). The wood is fragile and too long branches may break in strong wind. If you wish to have a dense crown sooner and are ready to miss early flowering for one year you can clip new growths just after the second or third pair of leaves in late May/early June.

Trumpet vines like neutral to alkaline soil so never plant it along with peat-loving plants. Its root system can accept drought once established so extra watering is desirable only maximum once a week in very dry summer. If you need to fertilize use only flower-encouraging fertilizers with low nitrogen level. We only sell GRAFTED plants that will flower the same year you buy them. Its hardiness has been tested to -24°C (USDA zone 6) so far but it is expected to take much stronger frost.
