The coral honeysuckle vine, scientific name Lonicera sempervirens and also called the trumpet honeysuckle vine for its trumpet-shaped flowers, will climb up fences and other plants. It can create beautiful scenery and attract graceful wildlife to the yard.
Plant Description
The coral honeysuckle vine will grow upward, climbing anything near it, 3 to 25 feet high. The honeysuckle attaches itself to objects by twining young vines around them. Trumpet-shaped flowers will bloom in spring, fall and during warm winters. Blooms come in coral, red and yellow. In early fall, red or black berries will ripen.
Planting Locations
Coral honeysuckle needs full sun to partial shade to thrive and prefers moist soil. The vine can adapt to different soil types and will withstand drought-like conditions. It will need support of some kind to climb as it grows.
Plant Advantages
Coral honeysuckle vines, like many types of honeysuckle, will attract hummingbirds, butterflies and bees to its flowers. Other bird types and small mammals will be attracted to its berries in the fall.
Less aggressive than other honeysuckle vines, the coral honeysuckle will not need excessive pruning. The vine makes perfect screens when grown on trellises or lattice.
