Design with this plant

Overview

The Coral Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens), with its vibrant trumpet-shaped red to coral-pink flowers, is a vigorous US-native vine ideally suited for trellises and fences. Reaching 3-20 feet, it's a hummingbird magnet preferring full sun to partial shade. Its tubular blossoms, blooming March-July, transition to berry-like fruits, providing bird sustenance. This hardy deciduous to semi-evergreen plant thrives in zones 4-9 and requires minimal maintenance post-establishment.
