Major Wheeler Honeysuckle

Ideal Vine for Fences, Posts or Arbors

  (2 customer reviews)



This quick-vining plant is covered with stunning tubular- shaped, red and gold blooms all summer long and well into the fall. Major Wheeler is a fast grower that quickly reaches 6-10 ft. in length and is unbelievably hardy. Resistant to the mildew that seems to plague other varieties. Likes partial shade in most regions except the far north, where it enjoys full sun. Potted. Zones 4-8.
This plant attracts hummingbirds.

This item ships only in the fall.
If our fall shipping season is closed, your order will be shipped the following fall.

I planted Major Wheeler Honeysuckle 2 years ago and it has brought hummingbirds to my yard earlier than past years and keeps them coming back. They love it so much they fight over it. I am going to plant 3 more Major Wheelers on different sides of the house this coming fall so they wont have to compete for it next year.

Grows quickly but not too fast.Smells and tastes sweet-you can eat the nectar my kids love it !!. Hummingbirds love it too. It's a beautiful plant, I'm always complimented on it.
