About Honeysuckle 'Major Wheeler' Potted Honeysuckle Plant
Lonicera sempervirens 'Major Wheeler' - Major Wheeler Coral Honeysuckle
Major Wheeler Coral Honeysuckle is a contained long-season twinning semi-evergreen shrub with dark green leaves and heavy blooms. The stems emerge purple to red before maturing to green-brown, sporting fragrant blazing orange-red flowers that bloom from spring to summer. Grows best in the south with the roots in part sun and moist well-drained soil. Highly mildew resistant and salt tolerant. Coral Honeysuckles are extremely flammable.
Lonicera sempervirens is a host for the Spring Azure Butterfly and the Snowberry Clearwing Moth. The nectar attracts hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinators while the seeds attract songbirds.
