Brilliant Tangerine Blooms Pop in Spring

This fast-growing honeysuckle is as colorful as it is aromatic, making it a springtime favorite you can enjoy for months to come. From spring until the first frost, the Cape Honeysuckle produces vibrant clusters of yellow, apricot, red, or orange trumpet-shaped flowers that pop against its deep green, fern-like foliage.

This beautiful evergreen shrub with sprawling, vine-like stems grows best in warm, tropical climates and can reach anywhere from 13 to 25 inches tall. Plus, it's low-maintenance in many ways, from its easy-to-grow nature and self-cleaning ability to its pest and disease resistance.

Plant the Cape Honeysuckle as a centerpiece in your garden containers or group them together in mass plantings. This quick-growing variety can even be planted to climb a trellis to add even more texture and color to your landscape. And the nectar of the flowers attracts hummingbirds and butterflies for enjoyable springtime wildlife viewing.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant your Honeysuckle in a spot that receives full sun but is safe from cold, dry winds. Plant in a hole that is twice as wide but only as deep as the root ball. Do not over-cover the top of the root. Water to settle.

You can also plant your Honeysuckle as the centerpiece or accent in a container arrangement, or train it around an arbor or fence using garden ties or twine.

2. Watering: This vine can tolerate wet or dry conditions. Be sure to water the vine weekly in its young life to ensure proper growth. After a couple of years, you only need to water the tree during very dry spells. Avoid overwatering if you live in a humid climate.

3. Pruning: Pruning is not necessary - however, you can trim after flowering to maintain shape.
