A high-performing, non-invasive evergreen vine that is native to the Southeast. It is remarkably adaptable to Houston's conditions, tolerating heavy clay soils and high humidity with much better disease resistance than Japanese Honeysuckle. It produces showy clusters of coral-red trumpets that are essential for local pollinators.
Exposure
Full Sun to Partial Shade (Full sun produces the best bloom count)
Height x Width
10-15' Height x 3-5' Width (Climbing)
Water
Moderate; prefers consistent moisture but is quite drought-tolerant once established.
Zones
4 - 9
Fertilization
Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support vigorous vine growth.
Pruning
Prune as needed after the main spring bloom to shape or control size.
