Notes
Goldflame honeysuckle (Lonicera heckrottii) is a vine for fences, trellises, and arbors. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Pink and yellow flowers appear from early to late summer and again in early to mid autumn. The blooms are fragrant, so plant it near a patio or walkway. It can climb 10 to 20 feet tall and wide, so give it a sturdy support.
Pairs well with Jackmanii clematis, Festiva Maxima peony, and Stargazer lily.
