I need to know when to cut the trumpet plant back in the fall. Do I cut the plant back to the ground, will the plant come back from the roots in the spring? Is there any pruning to be done in the summer?

I have one and have never pruned or cut it back. It comes back on its own every year.
You can prune to ground level or leave up to 8 inches. Pruning encourages flowering. Prune in the fall.
I recently received a cutting of a trumpet plant, I winterized it by keeping it in my home near a window, kept the soil moist and turned the pot once daily; in the Spring time, I planted it in full sun, it was beautiful with sunny yellow trumpet flowers, I did not prune it for this winter, it was mulched around the perimeter of the plant but not touching the base of the trunk. It is April now and new sprouts are beginning to show from the bottom of the trunk. I treated it like my hydrangas and left the old wood on the plant.
