Lonicera ×brownii, commonly known as Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle or Brown’s Honeysuckle, is a semi-evergreen hybrid vine resulting from a cross between Lonicera sempervirens (Trumpet Honeysuckle) and Lonicera hirsuta (Hairy Honeysuckle). It exhibits a moderate growth rate, reaching heights of 6-15 feet (1.8-4.6 meters) and spreading 3-6 feet (0.9-1.8 meters). This vine is known for its tubular orange to red flowers that are particularly showy in the summer, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. The foliage is bluish-green, and the plant may produce inedible red berries in the fall.

Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle is valued for its ornamental flowers and its ability to attract wildlife. It is commonly used for trellises, arbors, fences, and as a free-standing garden specimen. This vine is adaptable to a range of soil types, including sandy and loamy soils, and requires medium amounts of water with good drainage. It thrives in full sun to part shade conditions. While generally low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to powdery mildew and should be monitored for aphids and scale insects. Pruning can be done to maintain shape and promote vigorous growth.CC BY-SA 4.0
