Goldflame Honeysuckle

Goldflame honeysuckle is a deciduous twining vine with simple, untoothed, opposite leaves. It is grown for its slightly fragrant, very colorful flowers. The circular whorls of tubular flowers, which are rosy-red in bud, open into yellow trumpets before fading to white. The unusual terminal leaves are connate, which means they are fused together, looking as if the stem is piercing through them. This vine, which can grow to 20 feet, has a fairly long bloom period and attracts hummingbirds. It is most floriferous in June and continues to bloom sporadically until September. Goldflame honeysuckle is believed to be a hybrid of the American Lonicera sempervirens and a European hybrid incorrectly called Lonicera × americana. The fruit is a red berry, but this vine rarely fruits.
