Description

Lonicera Pink Honeysuckle 'Goldflame' is a spectacular and well-behaved climbing vine, cherished for its incredibly long season of vibrant, bi-colored flowers and delightful fragrance. Unlike its invasive relatives, it offers stunning garden performance without the ecological concern. From late spring through fall, it is adorned with clusters of tubular blooms that open a vibrant coral-pink on the outside and mature to a soft buttery-yellow within, creating a striking "flame" effect. Its sweet, citrusy scent perfumes the air, making it a magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and evening pollinators.

  • Prolific Bi-Colored Blooms: Produces an exceptionally long succession of flowers from late spring to frost. Each tubular bloom is coral-pink on the outside and yellow inside, appearing two-toned.

  • Intense, Sweet Fragrance: Flowers emit a strong, sweet, lemony-honey fragrance that is most noticeable in the evenings.

  • Top Hummingbird & Pollinator Magnet: A premier plant for attracting hummingbirds, butterflies, and moths throughout the growing season.

  • Non-Invasive & Well-Mannered Growth: A deciduous or semi-evergreen vine with a moderate, twining growth habit (reaching 10-15 ft.), making it easy to manage and ideal for trellises, fences, and arbors.

  • Low Maintenance & Adaptable: Prefers full sun to partial shade and is generally disease-resistant. Pruning is simple and can be done after flowering to control size.

Faqs

Q: How is this different from invasive Japanese Honeysuckle?
A: This is a crucial distinction. 'Goldflame' is a sterile hybrid (Lonicera × heckrottii). It does not produce viable seeds and has a moderate, non-aggressive growth habit, making it a safe and responsible garden choice. Invasive Japanese Honeysuckle (L. japonica) produces prolific berries spread by birds and grows aggressively, smothering native plants.

Q: How should I prune it?
A: Pruning is straightforward. The best time is after the main spring bloom. You can prune to shape the plant, control its size, or remove any dead wood. Avoid severe pruning, as flowers form on both old and new wood. Light deadheading can encourage more blooms later in the season.
