Description
Abundant in dry or moist soils of thickets and open woods in the eastern United States, trumpet honeysuckle is a slender vine with whorled clusters of flowers at the ends of the stems. The scarlet trumpet-shaped flowers -- tinged with yellow inside -- bloom from April to August. The blossom's bright red color, tube-like form and sweet fragrance attracts hummingbirds, honey bees and hawk moths. The fruit ripens into crimson berries in late autumn. Typical of members of the honeysuckle family, trumpet honeysuckle has opposite leaves and stamens that protrude conspicuously from the flowers. The upper leaves join around the stem, giving the appearance of a single united leaf pierced by the stem. The genus name, Lonicera, honors Adam Lonitzer, a 16th century German botanist and physician; the specific name -- sempervirens -- means evergreen. Native Americans and early settlers dried and smoked the leaves of trumpet honeysuckle to treat asthma.
