Honeysuckle Vine Gold Flame Live Plant Coral Yellow Flower Starter Size 4 Inch Pot

larger image

Honeysuckle is one of the most widely cultivated ornamental plants in the United States. Gold Flame or Goldflame is an old heirloom, profuse-blooming, non-invasive hybrid honeysuckle vine. Experts disagree on the origin. However, is the most common id. We will leave it to the experts to settle the questions as to whether modern plants are correctly Lonicera x heckrottii or [×americana × sempervirens], if 'Gold Flame' is a select cultivar of 'Goldflame' or just an alternate spelling of the name. Either way, it is a well-loved, easy-care way to add color and nutrient-rich nectar across a wide range of climates.

Vines begin producing dense clusters of fat, tubular, coral-colored buds in mid-spring that expand to reveal a heart of sunset gold and pink-streaked petals. The sbloom cycle continues sporadically through the summer and peaks again in the fall. Opinions also differ widely regarding fragrance. We find it to have a clear, clean, moderate fragrance up close, but have had others say they do not perceive any fragrance at all. So, experiences vary, but everyone agrees it does not have the sweet waft and permeate the entire garden.

Its best and general use is for quick cover for a fence, trellis, archway, or any support. It can also be used as a ground cover and is a great plant for habitat use.

It will grow across a wide range of well-draining soil types, is very drought-tolerant once it is established, and does not require much care aside from pruning after flowering to maintain size. It can be prone to powdery mildew in some locations, but avoiding overwatering and overcrowding is key to reducing this risk.

Care: When mature, plant in fertile, well-draining soil or potting media in full sun. Water as needed to maintain consistent soil moisture, but avoid overwatering. Overly saturated plants become spotted, weak, thin, and fail to flower as expected. Feed a good quality, slow-release fertilizer initially and repeat only as needed based on plant appearance. Prune after flowering to control size and shape. Avoid pruning during winter.

Indoor Growing: Crossvines require the full spectrum of bright, indirect light for 4 to 6 hours daily. Warm temperatures above 75 degrees, high humidity when actively growing, and a period of above freezing chilling during dormancy to produce flowers. The vine can be grown indoors fairly easily, but producing flowers can be challenging.

Climate: Goldflame Honeysuckle Vine is moderately cold-tolerant and recommended for USDA Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Generally well-established plants freeze to the ground and resprout in the Spring in Zones 5, 6, and 7. Elsewhere, it is generally evergreen. Plant early in the season, mulch heavily well ahead of the first frost, and protect from cold until well established.
