Goldflame honeysuckle is a deciduous vine that grows vigorously to 12 to 15 feet tall. It has oval bluish green leaves, but little fall color. Blooms late spring, and then sporadically all summer into the fall. Buds are carmine red, and open to yellow. The outside gradually fades to pink; the effect is of multi-colored flowers in ranges of carmine, pink, and coral. Slightly fragrant. If you have room, plant it with Halls honeysuckle for a perfect combination of style and fragrance. Deciduous.
Needs support to become established. Its a twining vine, so it has to have something to wrap its tendrils around. This is an aggressive vine, and so ought to be avoided in riparian corridor areas, or in wild-land interface areas as it could escape and over-take native plants.
