Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in average, well-drained soil. Provide a trellis, fence, or support. Space 6–8 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch lightly.

Care Tips

Water regularly after planting; once established it tolerates moderate drought. Prune lightly after the main flush of bloom in late spring to shape and encourage additional flowering. Unlike Asian honeysuckles, Major Wheeler is not invasive and is safe to use throughout the garden. Fertilize lightly in spring. The large, vivid red and orange tubular flowers are produced over a very long season from late spring through fall and are irresistible to hummingbirds. Largely pest-free and deer resistant.
