Description

Blooms 10 months straight – your hummingbirds will never go hungry!

Hands down the BEST red flowering honeysuckle vine we’ve ever grown in our nursery and in our own gardens, ‘Major Wheeler’ Trumpet Honeysuckle is a “MAJOR” improvement of the species. Why? Because, unlike other red honeysuckles, the deep blue-green leaves of Major Wheeler are absolutely mildew-free and the vine blooms year round in our Georgia gardens. Even during the rainiest and most humid summers you’ll see no mildew on the leaves and there’s never a day during the year the vine doesn’t have flowers on it!

But the great attributes don’t stop there…

In late winter or very early spring, abundant dangling clusters of radiant-red trumpet-shaped flowers appear and continue in cycles all the way through fall and into winter in most zones where it will grow – USDA Zones 4a-9b. The flowers were perfectly designed by mother nature for hummingbirds to feed on, and they find them irresistible. Here in our north-central Georgia gardens, our Major Wheeler Honeysuckle seems to always be in bloom…at least 10 months out of the year but usually throughout the entire year.

We have Major Wheeler growing over an entryway arch in our gardens that leads to a patio sitting area. In just two years the vine has densely covered the 8-foot high by 5 foot wide wooden arch. We love to relax on the patio and watch the hummingbirds feed all day long.

The vine does not cling to walls and other surfaces, however, will grow up and on just about anything that provides its vines something to twine around.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 10 feet or more tall or long and 2 to 3 feet wide, Major Wheeler is an absolute must and the BEST honeysuckle for hummingbird gardens! It is ideal for use to climb along the top of fences, on a trellis, on a pole, post or mailbox, over an arch, arbor or pergola, or any other structure that will provide something for the vines to twine around.

Suggested Spacing: 3 to 6 feet apart to cover fences or other structures

Growing Preferences

Major Wheeler Honeysuckle is easily grown in average, moist but well-drained soils and full sun to light shade. The vine produces more flowers and is more vigorous in full sun, where it completely covered an 8 foot tall wooden arch in our gardens in just two years. We recommend at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. It is quite drought tolerant when established and hardy in USDA Zones 4a-9b Find Your Zone

I just received my order and I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the condition of the plants and the care with which they were packed. I have ordered plants in the past from two different nurseries and was not happy with either one. This was going to be my last attempt. If I have any ordering to do in the future, I will be ordering from you!
Thank you.—————————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Everything I received from Wilson Bros turned out OK.
Thx———————————We are glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG

Every word in the description of this gorgeous plant is true! We bought two and they arrived much sooner than expected. They were packaged superbly! Once we got them opened up, they were healthy and blooming! Followed the instructions for planting. We’ve had them for a few months and the growth is spectacular! They’re a little more than twice the size than when we got them. Hummingbirds love them and we love Hummingbirds! A few nurseries around my area but we’ll only purchase plants for our property from Wilson Brothers Gardens from here forward! A few extra dollars beats a mile of frustration any day! Thank you WB’s for what and how you do it!We are so glad you are pleased! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG

I ORDERED THE 3 GALLON SIZE; THE FIRST ORDER WAS DELIVERED TO AN INCORRECT ADDRESS AND A TIMELY REPLACEMENT WAS SENT. VERY WELL PACKED AND ONCE OUT OF THE BOX I WAS THRILLED TO SEE IT WAS OVER 4 FEET TALL AND A VERY FULL PLANT WITH FLOWERS! WORTH THE MONEY AND WORTH THE WAIT. WILL BE A SHOW STOPPER IN AM YEAR!———————————-Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG
