Yes. Red Trumpet Vine is a vigorous climbing plant that can attach itself to suitable surfaces using aerial rootlets. It can grow over sturdy trellises, fences, and pergolas. However, its strong growth and attachment roots can damage masonry, wooden structures, and nearby plants. Use a strong standalone support and regularly control unwanted shoots to prevent excessive spreading.
