One of few honeysuckles which will flower well in the shade, this vigorous vine (to 20') produces its trumpet shaped deep-yellow flowers flushed with orange and pink in mid-summer. PSh/M

Redgold honeysuckle vine! Deciduous and produces very vivid blooms. Prefers to have its roots in shade and needs to be tied to support, but otherwise easy to grow and gorgeous.
