Lonicera sempervirens is often known as the 'Trumpet honeysuckle'. This vigorous evergreen climber displays its scarlet red to orange blooms that have a yellow inside all through the summer and autumn. The blooms are followed by bright red berries popular with the birds.
Cultivation Advice.
Deciduous, sometimes evergreen, climbing honeysuckles (Lonicera) have thin, flexible stems that twine around their supports. Grow them up walls and fences, or over a pergola to scent the air near a seating area. Although they will flower better in a sunny place, a lightly shaded position will encourage a healthier, greener plant. Climbing honeysuckles will thrive on almost any soil type. Very wet or excessively dry soils are unsuitable. Strong sunlight can scorch the growth.
