Description
Major Wheeler honeysuckle vine begins flowering in June and continues into fall, blooming a true, bright red.
A big bonus is that these blooms are magnets for hummingbirds, and once your vine is growing and blooming, you'll see them regularly. Honeysuckle vines, when happy in a moist location with full sun will cover a trellis or wall of up to 144 sq. ft. (12 x 12). If you don't have a trellis, Major Wheeler makes a beautiful running ground cover or shrub-like mound with its dense production of beautiful deep green leaves and lots of brilliant red flowers. Keeps blooming all summer long.

Reviews
Amazing growth and flower production
"It is hard to believe this vine is only a year old. I built a trellis using 8' treated 4x4's and it has filled it out well. There were no flowers the first year, but the growth was amazing. This year there are blooms everywhere. I'm growing it in a 30 gallon container. The hummingbirds love it, highly recommended."
I will order this product again in the spring.
"Of the 4 Nurseries that I ordered from American Meadows had the best (looking at the time of delivery and the best growing once they were planted)."
Growing like crazy
"I wanted honeysuckles to fill my backyard fence. I was skeptical about ordering live plants online, but every purchase I have made has been great, and cheaper too."
Fantastic!
"This is it's second year and only May and I am thrilled with the growth. Lots of blossoms and this year I am working on training it so, between the 4 I planted, it begins to completely hide the fence and retention basin I am trying to obscure. I am trying to attract hummingbirds as well. I haven't seen any yet, but hopefully this is the year!"
It arrived in fine shape!
"I'm sure she will do well in the full sign climbing my trellis under my deck! Thank you!"
Not flourishing
"I'm not sure this vine is going to make it. I have others growing nearby that are doing great."
My Major Wheeler with clematis
"Starting to spread out, only 2 year. Will by more, unfortunately sold out this year."
I plan on buying more Wheeler honeysuckle soon
"I love to watch the hummingbirds feed from the nectar"
Happy plant
"Just received my baby plant and wanted to share how impressed I was with the shipping. It was totally protected and secured within the box and arrived in perfect condition. I have purchased bulbs before, but this was my first live plant. It will be planted in a very large container on my patio, and I look forward to watching it grow and bloom. I will definitely purchase more live plants in the future."
So far, so good
"This NATIVE honesuckle vine is doing wonderfully. It has been incredibly hot and dry in my area so I've been careful to water it as it becomes established. A leading vine has already twined up about 4 feet from when I placed it in the ground in spring. Based on how healthy it appears, I'm confident it will be back after winter."
