Coral Honeysuckle
Lonicera sempervirens
Coral Honeysuckle is a vigorous, twining deciduous to semi-evergreen vine grown for its clusters of scarlet-orange, yellow-throated, trumpet-shaped flowers from spring into summer. It climbs rapidly on a trellis, arbor or fence, or sprawls unsupported as a groundcover, and follows its non-fragrant flowers with ornamental red berries that draw birds and hummingbirds. It grows well in full sun to part shade on average, medium-moisture, well-drained soil and tolerates clay and black walnut.
