Western Trumpet Honeysuckle

You spot Orange Honeysuckle as a twining vine with orange-red tubular flowers and blue berries along moist forest edges and riparian areas throughout the Puget Sound region. This native vine's bright color and bird-attracting fruit make it valuable in native gardens.

Orange Honeysuckle climbs 6-20 feet in sun to part shade with moderate water needs and adaptable soil tolerance (zones 4a-8b). Vining habit suits screening, arbor coverage, and wildlife plantings. Prune after flowering to shape; blooms occur on old wood. Watch for occasional leaf spots and fungal infections in humid conditions. No serious insect pest documentation for the region. Minimal maintenance required once established on appropriate support.
