Coral Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens)
Coral Honeysuckle is an evergreen or tardily deciduous vine that may climb 15 to 25 feet. The leaves are opposite with a smooth margin. The bark is smooth and green with a slight fuzziness when young. As the vine ages, the bark turns brown and begins to flake. Red and yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers mature in mid-spring to fall. The vine produces a orange-red berry that matures in fall.
WildlifeFlowers are attractive to hummingbirds and some moth pollinators. Fruit is eaten by songbirds. Foliage may be browsed by white-tailed deer.
