And yes, mommyof2, there are honeysuckle bushes.
Reply:No it is just a bush. It doesn't climb.
Reply:Some consider it a groundcover, but you should train over fences, arbors, etc.
Will tolerate shade very well, but this plant blooms extremely well when placed in full sun. Extremely large scarlet flowers starting around late May. Produces a large display of blooms, then blooms sporadically for the rest of the season.
Prune late fall or early spring, and you trim for rebloom.
