Orange Honeysuckle is a perennial climbing vine with clusters of tubular, bright orange flowers. Reaching lengths of up to 18 feet, this plant wraps up trees or spreads easily on the ground, growing in full sun to shade and preferring moist, mesic soils. Hummingbirds are frequent visitors to the trumpet-shaped flowers, and other birds enjoy the red fruit.
