Lonicera sempervirens<\/i>[a]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> (also coral honeysuckle<\/b> or trumpet honeysuckle<\/b>) is a species of honeysuckle<\/font><\/a> native to the eastern United States<\/font>.[2]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> <\/font>It is grown as an plant for wildlife, as it is used by <\/font>ruby-throated hummingbirds<\/font><\/a> in their natural range.[3]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> <\/font>It is also grown as an ornamental for its attractive flowers, especially as a native alternative to the invasive <\/font>Japanese honeysuckle<\/font><\/a>.[4]<\/font><\/a><\/sup>[5]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font> Several <\/font>cultivars<\/font><\/a> have been selected for variation in flower color, including ‘Magnifica’ (flowers red outside, yellow inside), ‘Sulphurea’ (yellow flowers), and ‘Superba’ (bright scarlet flowers).[6]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font>\u00a0The plant is <\/font>evergreen<\/font><\/a> in <\/font>zone<\/font><\/a> 8 and warmer and <\/font>deciduous<\/font><\/a> in colder climates. It is a twining <\/font>vine<\/font><\/a> growing to 20\u00a0ft or more through shrubs and young trees. <\/font>The leaves are produced in opposite pairs, oval, up to 5\u00a0cm long and 4\u00a0cm broad; the leaves immediately below the flowers are <\/font>perfoliate<\/font><\/a>, joined at the base in a complete ring round the shoot. The flowers are produced in clusters of several groups of three together, tubular, 5\u00a0cm long, with five small lobes opening at the tip to expose the stamens and stigma; they are bright red to pinkish-red, and pollinated by ruby-throated hummingbirds and insects.[7]<\/font><\/a><\/sup>[3]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font>
