    Details

    Coral Honeysuckle, also called Trumpet Honeysuckle, is a non-invasive native vine with clusters of bright tubular flowers that bloom from spring into summer. The flowers range from deep red to coral orange and are especially attractive to hummingbirds, while butterflies and other pollinators also visit for nectar. Its twining stems make it a beautiful choice for arbors, trellises, fences, and garden structures.

    Unlike invasive honeysuckles, Coral Honeysuckle offers a more garden-friendly growth habit while still bringing strong wildlife value. It grows best in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil, flowering most heavily with more sun. After bloom, red berries develop and provide food for birds, extending its ecological value beyond the flowering season.

    Why choose Coral Honeysuckle?

    • Non-invasive native vine for trellises, fences, and arbors
    • Red to coral-orange tubular flowers attract hummingbirds
    • Supports butterflies and other nectar-seeking pollinators
    • Red berries provide food for birds in fall
    • Adds vertical color without overwhelming the garden

    Maintenance Tips

    Provide a trellis, fence, arbor, or other support for the twining stems. Prune lightly after flowering to shape the vine, remove tangled growth, or keep it within bounds.
