Coral Honeysuckle is a native vine of eastern forests and woodland edges, producing vivid tubular red and yellow flowers that are the preferred native alternative to the invasive Japanese honeysuckle. It is one of the most important native plants for ruby-throated hummingbirds, which are its primary pollinators. The red berries are eaten by many birds.
