Though its name suggests otherwise, Mexican Honeysuckle, native to Mexico, is not a vine or related to other honeysuckles plants, but a small shrub growing anywhere from 3 - 5" tall yet it is quite easy to see how the visual similarities among Mexican honeysuckle might explain its namesake. Boasting beautiful, brightly colored orange to reddish flowers, Mexican Honeysuckle is a welcome sight to hummingbirds, bees and butterflies alike. They bloom from late spring to fall, but often extend blooms through late winter/early spring depending on the climate.
When planting, choose a location that receives direct sunlight, though the plants will tolerate some shade. For best results, water evenly and consistently throughout the season as a means to promote prolonged bloom time. Mexican Honeysuckle is ideal for use in landscapes in hot, drought-prone locations where shade cast by their presence is a blessing.
