Description
With a long blooming season from early summer to fall, the hummingbirds will thank you for planting the Dropmore Scarlet Honeysuckle Vine. Abundant showy clusters of tubular flaming scarlet flowers with orange throats pop against the attractive blue-green foliage on this fast grower up to 20 feet in height or length. Clusters of long lasting bright red berries follow the flowers for extra-added appeal and food for your feathered friends. This vine does not cling to walls and other surfaces, however, it will grow up and on just about anything that provides its vines something to twine around. If you don't have a trellis, pergola, arch or other structure suitable for this vine to grow on, it can also be grown as a groundcover.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing up to 20 feet in length/height, the Dropmore Scarlet Honeysuckle vine is ideal for use to climb along the top of fences, on a trellis, on a pole, post or mailbox, over an arch, arbor or pergola, or any other structure that will provide something for the vines to twine around. A fine addition to hummingbird gardens, orange theme gardens and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 to 6 feet apart to cover fences or other structures
Growing Preferences
Dropmore Scarlet Honeysuckle is easily grown in average, moist but well-drained soils and full sun to light shade. The vine produces more flowers and is more vigorous in full sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. It is quite drought tolerant when established and hardy in USDA Zones 4a-9b Find Your Zone
