Coral Honeysuckle

Lonicera sempervirens
In the United States: Native · also called trumpet honeysuckle, coral honeysuckle

Coral honeysuckle offers valuable early-spring nectar to honeybees during peak bloom in April-May, helping fill foraging gaps before major flows; its tubular flowers are accessible to bees unlike longer-tubed invasives. It provides moderate pollen but is not a major surplus producer. Non-invasive native vine that requires trellis support and thrives without heavy management, though aphids may occasionally affect blooms.
