Lonicera 'Mandarin' is a honeysuckle introduction from UBC Botanical Garden. It offers glorious shades of deep yellow, orange, peach, and pink. Though it does not have fragrance, it is quite popular with hummingbirds and butterflies. Let it run over a fence or arbour or into a small tree or use as a privacy screen on a trellis.

This attractive flowering vine quickly covers garden walls, trellises or arbors for a lush, even tropical feel. The trumpet-like flowers are a brilliant red-orange on the outside, while the insides are a pale apricot. Its shiny leaves range in color from dark coppery-purple new growth to deep dark-green all on a 15-20' deciduous vine. Wonderful for their long bloom season (from late spring through fall) and for their light fragrance which will invite plenty of pollinators to your garden. This is a sterile selection, so it is not invasive. S/M PP11083

This fast growing twining vine is decorative from early spring when the purple leaves veined in pink leaf out, and all through summer, when glowing orange clusters of bloom draw hummingbirds to your garden. A great vine for screening, it requires a sturdy support. A sterile hybrid without seeds, it devotes all its energy into blooming! Images courtesy Mike D.

Developed in Canada, this spectacular Chinese Honeysuckle is very hardy. Spectacular from the day it sends out the first leaf in spring with deep coppery-russet, new foliage which matures to glossy dark green. The stems are a rich, dark purple and dark red buds produce tons of 3" blooms. One of the most prolific bloomers in the Genus. Sterile (sets no fruit) so it puts all it's energy into Fuchsia blooms with golden interiors which come profusely all summer. Lightly fragrant PP11083
