Japanese Honeysuckle is known as an invasive species east of Texas and from Florida to Maine. However it is a great hardy vine option for us in the high desert. These vines grow vigorously and can handle our hot summers and cold winters. Honeysuckle does not suction onto surfaces, but can wind through chain link fences, arbors, and other vertical supports.
