Hairy Honeysuckle

Hairy honeysuckle is a semi-evergreen to deciduous vine native to western North America, often occurring in coastal scrub, woodlands, and forest margins. It produces hairy stems, opposite leaves, and whorls of pink to rose-colored tubular flowers that appear from spring into summer, heavily visited by hummingbirds and native bees. The plant forms clusters of bright red berries later in the season, providing food for birds. Adapted to a range of soils and light conditions, hairy honeysuckle is an important species for wildlife habitat and a resilient component of native restoration plantings.
