Landscape Value Trumpet Honeysuckle is a native vine that needs a trellis or pole in order to climb. This compact selection features clusters of sulphur-yellow flowers in late spring, then off and on until frost. Although not fragrant, the flowers are very attractive to hummingbirds. Foliage is blue-green in color, remaining attractive well into the winter. May also be grown as a spreading groundcover. Prune back hard every 2 to 3 years in order to force dense growth from the base. Aphids sometimes are a problem, so watch for signs of infestation beginning in early summer. |
