Growth Habit

Water when top 2 inches of soil is dry. Twining stems quickly climb 10 to 15 ft. tall, with support. This startling Honeysuckle offers unique coral-red flowers and slightly purple foliage that's most exotic, yet it is surprisingly hardy. Great sprawling vine for shade arbors, lattice and trellis. Fast growth covers outbuildings or unattractive utilities in no time. Makes a super bank or slope ground cover and it will cascade over retaining walls in a wave of rich color.
