coral honeysuckle

Also known as Trumpet Honeysuckle, Scarlet Honeysuckle, Woodbine

Coral honeysuckle twines gracefully through sunny forest margins and garden trellises, producing vibrant clusters of trumpet-shaped, crimson-to-coral flowers with bright yellow interiors. Highly favored by ruby-throated hummingbirds, these tubular blooms lack the heavy perfume of exotic honeysuckles but offer rich nectar reserves from spring into late summer. In warm southern climates, the smooth, blue-green foliage remains evergreen throughout the year, followed by glossy red autumn berries that sustain migratory birds.
