Trumpet Honeysuckle

About this plant

Lonicera sempervirens, commonly known as Trumpet Honeysuckle, is a stunning, easy-to-grow native vine that brings a touch of wild beauty to any garden. Its showy, tubular flowers, typically in shades of red, orange, or yellow, are a magnet for pollinators, especially hummingbirds, who adore its nectar-rich blooms. This vigorous climber is perfect for adorning trellises, arbors, fences, or even sprawling over rock walls, providing a lush green backdrop with seasonal bursts of color. Unlike some other honeysuckle varieties, Trumpet Honeysuckle is not considered invasive, making it a responsible and beautiful choice for sustainable landscapes. Enjoy a long season of blooms from spring through fall, followed by small red berries that provide a food source for birds, adding multi-seasonal interest to your outdoor space.

Care & maintenance

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade; flowering will be more prolific in sunnier locations. Provide a sturdy support structure for climbing, or allow it to sprawl as a groundcover. Prune annually after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Can be cut back hard in late winter to rejuvenate.
