Also known as Coral Honeysuckle and Woodbine, this twining vine needs a trellis or fence upon which to grow. It blooms early in the year with one major flush in spring and then several other, but smaller, flushes throughout summer and fall. Hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies are highly attracted to the red, trumpet-shaped flowers growing along the vine. This plant blooms best in full sun, though it can grow in partial shade, and prefers moist, rich soils.
