Yellow Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens 'Sulphurea') is a versatile perennial vine known for its striking clusters of trumpet-shaped yellow flowers that bloom in the spring. This plant thrives in a range of light conditions, from full sun to part shade, and attracts a variety of wildlife, including hummingbirds, bees, butterflies, and birds such as quail and finches. Yellow Honeysuckle, like Coral Honeysuckle, has medicinal uses, including treating asthma, bee stings, and sore throats. It also serves as a larval host for the Spring Azure butterfly and Snowberry Clearwing Moth, adding further ecological value to your garden.
