Coral Honeysuckle is an excellent native alternative to invasive Japanese honeysuckle. Train it on a trellis, arbor, or fence where its twining stems can climb. It flowers best with good sun but tolerates part shade, and its tubular blooms provide an important nectar source for hummingbirds and other pollinators.
Good to know: Twining native vine; long-blooming tubular flowers; semi-evergreen in mild winters; red berries
