Lonicera sempervirens 'Major Wheeler'

Major Wheeler Honeysuckle Vine is a vigorous flowering vine known for its brilliant red-orange tubular blooms with glowing golden interiors. Dense clusters of flowers appear in late spring and continue through summer, often extending into fall for an exceptionally long season of color. The nectar-rich flowers especially attract hummingbirds, making this vine a lively addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.

Fast-growing and naturally climbing, Major Wheeler is perfect for covering trellises, arbors, pergolas, fences, and other vertical structures. Young stems often display attractive red to purple coloring before maturing to greenish brown. This selection also resists powdery mildew and performs well in humid conditions.

Growing Tips

Plant in full sun for the heaviest flowering and grow in fertile, well-drained soil. Provide a sturdy trellis, arbor, fence, or other structure for the twining stems to climb. Water regularly while it establishes and during extended dry periods. Prune as needed to control size, remove damaged growth, or maintain the desired shape.

With its blazing red-orange flowers, long bloom season, and incredible hummingbird appeal, Major Wheeler Honeysuckle Vine is a beautiful way to bring vertical color and life to the garden.

Order & Shipping Info:

-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.
