?A must for every garden... a literal shower of yellow flowers and bright-green foliage? (Dirr) in late spring, this large, 10-20' twining vine is great for fence, trellis, or tree. S/M

Beautiful yellow tubular blooms are born from spring to fall. Attracts hummingbirds and butterflies make this a lovely vine for fence, arbor or trellis. Coral Honeysuckle or Trumpet Honeysuckle is a native, often evergreen vine that is vigorous and easy to grow as well as easy to control, unlike its white and yellow Japanese cousin. We often see a few flowers on our vines in the garden in winter but the main show is in spring with flowers continuing on and off often until fall. Few other woody vines can provide the long flowering show that this wonderful native can provide as well as attracting loads of Hummingbirds.
