If the sweet scent and rampant growth of honeysuckle are too much of a good thing in your opinion, Coral Honeysuckle may be the vine for you. It is unscented and one of the least aggressive members of the family, yet its brilliant flowers pro- vide plenty of nectar for hummingbirds. If you’d like a smaller sized but fragrant vine, try the hybrid Lonicera x heckrottii, Goldflame Honeysuckle, which differs in having clusters of scented gold and coral-pink blossoms.

Trumpet Vine is a hummingbird’s delight with brilliantly colored, luscious nectar- rich flowers produced over a long season. From a human point of view the caveat is to provide a strong enough support and enough space for this vigorous rambler.
