Brilliant, prolific clusters of tubular orange-red to scarlet flowers delight hummingbirds and butterflies. This honeysuckle shines in gardens, trained as upright screen or easily hedged into golden-blooming shrub. Good for containers and mass plantings or used to hide a not-so-great-looking fence. Try enjoying the long blooming season from spring to fall as well as the hummingbirds will. The versatile, sprawling vine-like shrub takes well to hard pruning. Prefers good drainage. Drought tolerant but looks best with regular water.
