Limber Honeysuckle, Glaucous Honeysuckle

Twining Honeysuckle are climbing vines (3-9 ft) with pairs of leaves that join and form a cup around the stem.

Clusters of yellow-orange trumpet-shaped flowers form between the pairs of leaves at the end of stems from May to July and deepen to purple before developing into clusters of round orange-red berries that are eaten by birds.

Twining Honeysuckle are shade-loving plants that grow in woody or rocky areas.

Did you know? The trumpet-shaped flowers are popular with Hummingbirds and Bumblebees.
