Honeysuckle, Major Wheeler

Produces a blanket of tubular, reddish orange to coral flowers from late spring through summer. Later, the red berries attract goldfinches and robins. It’s a selection of our native species, Lonicera sempervirens, and plants are both carefree and noninvasive. They bloom on the previous year’s growth as well as new growth. Regular pruning is not required—any pruning to shape the vine can be done once flowering is over for the season. Blooms June-Aug. Plant in average, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Use for vine, screen, wall cover, nectarous plant, birds. Grows to 10’. Zone 4. Gallon Pot.
