About This Product

'Major Wheeler' is a native coral honeysuckle vine prized for heavy, repeat blooms of tubular coral-red flowers with a yellow throat that hummingbirds flock to. Unlike exotic honeysuckles, it is well-behaved and non-invasive, twining neatly on trellises, fences, and arbors. Semi-evergreen in mild winters and disease-resistant.
