Coral Honeysuckle

Coral Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) is a vigorous, twining vine known for its stunning tubular flowers, which typically bloom in shades of coral-red with yellow interiors. This hardy, deciduous to semi-evergreen plant can grow up to 15-20 feet in length, making it perfect for arbors, trellises, fences, and other supports. The foliage is semi-evergreen, with dark green, oval leaves that may retain their color throughout mild winters. Coral Honeysuckle is prized not only for its ornamental beauty but also for its ability to attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators. It prefers full sun to partial shade and thrives in well-drained soil. This low-maintenance vine is also drought-tolerant once established and is resistant to most pests and diseases, making it an excellent choice for sustainable gardening.
