Simply the best red-flowered honeysuckle ever grown,'Major Wheeler' Honeysuckle delights with its entirely mildew-free foliage! What a difference these lush leaves make : they remain dense and lovely until frost, and the flowers keep coming as well, unbelievably abundant and not ready to quit until summer's end. And the habit is quite versatile, equally inclined to climb as a vine, mound up, or stretch along the garden floor. If you are partial to butterflies and hummingbirds, or if you need quick cover-up of a wall, fence, or unsightly garden presence,'Major Wheeler' Honeysuckle is waiting for you.

Each long, slender, trumpet-shaped bloom is a radiant shade of red with yellow tips and interiors. Hummingbirds take notice, and there are more blooms than you can imagine, appearing in large dangling clusters, all over this plant. They begin in late spring and last through summer, standing out brilliantly against the dark foliage.

Although 'Major Wheeler' Honeysuckle grows most quickly and flowers most heavily in full sun, it can tolerate a bit of shade. Once established 'Major Wheeler' Honeysuckle is very drought tolerant, and of course it revels in the humidity that reduces older varieties to bare stems by summer's end. We highly recommend it for brilliant vertical color.

This variety should not be confused with the invasive species, Lonicera japonica, seen in the wild.
