Honeysuckle 'Dropmore Scarlet', Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle 'Dropmore Scarlet', Lonicera sempervirens 'Dropmore Scarlet'
Highly popular, Lonicera × brownii ‘Dropmore Scarlet’ (Honeysuckle) is a vigorous semi-evergreen climber with masses of stunning, flaming scarlet, tubular flowers that open to reveal orange throats. Produced in succession from early summer to fall, they eventually give way (in hot summers) to small, bright red berries. Magnets for hummingbirds, the cheerful blossoms contrast nicely with the semi-evergreen foliage of rounded blue-green leaves. Although not fragrant, this honeysuckle makes up in color and still is a terrific garden plant. It will happily cover walls, fences, or pergolas for a striking floral display.
