Coral Honeysuckle
Lonicera sempervirens
Coral honeysuckle is the honeysuckle you actually want — coral-red flowers no hummingbird has ever managed to walk past, and it has the good manners to stay where you put it. Its Japanese cousin, by contrast, is currently strangling the woods one tree at a time. Plant the polite one. Cover a fence the right way. 🧡

The native, well-behaved honeysuckle — coral tubes the hummingbirds love, and none of the invasive sprawl of the Japanese kind, which treats a fence as a suggestion and the whole county as a buffet.
