From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Lonicera sempervirens

Lonicera sempervirens (Trumpet Honeysuckle) is a species of honeysuckle native to the eastern United States.

It is an evergreen twining shrubby vine growing to several meters high through shrubs and young trees. The leaves are produced in opposite pairs, oval, up to 5 cm long and 4 cm broad; the leaves immediately below the flowers are perfoliate, joined at the base in a complete ring round the shoot. The flowers are produced in clusters of several groups of three together, tubular, 5 cm long, with five small lobes opening at the tip to expose the stamens and stigma; they are bright red to pinkish-red, and pollinated by Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and insects.

Cultivation and uses
It is commonly grown as an ornamental plant in gardens, for its attractive flowers, and also as one of the best plants to attract hummingbirds. Several cultivars have been selected for variation in flower color, including ‘Magnifica’ (flowers red outside, yellow inside), ‘Sulphurea’ (yellow flowers), and ‘Superba’ (bright scarlet flowers).
