coral honeysuckle

Lonicera sempervirens

A non-stop bloomer from late spring through the summer with showy clusters of orange-red flowers. Considered to be the most extended blooming variety of honeysuckle and a superior flower for hummingbirds, coral honeysuckle is not generally regarded as invasive.

‘Major Wheeler’ is a selection with a longer and heavier flowering display than the species, Lonicera sempervirens. However, if you want to have lots of berries, you’ll need another coral honeysuckle that is not ‘Major Wheeler’. This allows the flowers of each vine to cross-pollinate and produce more fruit.

Both are available at the nursery!
