A lovely, carefree native deciduous woody honeysuckle to 6m in all directions. Lovely leaves and lovelier clusters of narrow mouthed orange trumpet shaped flowers only hummingbirds are able to access the nectar bounty within. Deer resistant. Will twine around anything and climb trees, fences, trellis or creep on the ground if given no support. Drought tolerant when established.
