Fast growing 'Major Wheeler' Honeysuckle's blooms
are true red and plentiful, appearing with enthusiasm throughout the
summer season. This variety is resistant to powdery mildew and can even
hold its own in humid environments, where it still presents
fresh-looking foliage to accompany its clusters of tubular flowers.
Vining and growing to 8-10' tall, 'Major Wheeler' is a non-aggressive,
non-invasive honeysuckle that needs the support of a trellis, cage or
fence to wind and wrap itself around. Right at home in containers and
tolerant of partial shade, plant this one to attract hummingbirds.
