Pink Honeysuckle Hairy Honeysuckle

You recognize Hairy Honeysuckle as a trailing or twining vine with pink to purple flowers and red berries in coastal forests and scrub from British Columbia to California. This native vine's modest size and native habitat make it suitable for small-scale native plantings.

Hairy Honeysuckle climbs 3-10 feet in sun to part shade with low to moderate water needs and adaptable soil tolerance (zones 7a-8b). Vine or groundcover habit suits wildlife plantings and native borders. Modest growth habit and easy management distinguish it from aggressive non-native honeysuckle species. Watch for occasional leaf spots in humid seasons. No serious insect pests documented. Minimal pruning required; shape naturally to suit the landscape.
