About This Species
Grow me instead of English ivy
Western honeysuckle is a native climbing vine with round green leaves and fragrant, funnel-shaped, coral-orange flowers. Often found growing on shrubs and trees, it would be a nice choice to grow on a pergola, along a fence, or other structure for summer interest. Hummingbirds and bees love this species.
When selecting non-invasive plants for your garden, be sure to look for those that are suitable for your location, including moisture requirements, hardiness zone, and avoidance of known bear attractants among other factors.
