Lonicera sempervirens
Trumpet honeysuckle

Trumpet shaped and orange-red to red on the outside with an orange-yellow throat, the brightly colored flowers are composed of a long, narrow, 2" corolla with 5 shallow and nearly equal lobes. The flowers are borne on the ends of stems in clusters of approximately 18-24, blooming continuously from mid-June through August as they continue to open new flowers. They are unfortunately scentless.
