Lonicera sempervirens f. sulphurea 'John Clayton' - This golden form of Trumpet Honeysuckle flower recurrently through much of the growing season. 'John Clayton' is an all-round great wildlife plant. The clear sulphur to yellow tubes sometimes with the bare infusion of orange draw all manner of bee, butterfly and hummingbird. Foliage is light green, matte-finished - deciduous in the north but remains evergreen in the south. Autumn foliage color may be a respectable yellow before leaf drop in the north. Late season orange-red fruits are beloved by birds. The worthy Trumpet Honeysuckle is twining vine and will require support so that it can show itself off. It would be beautiful scrambling over a wall. Well-drained fertile, organic soil in full to nearly full sun though it is tolerant of clay soil and will survive the bane of allelopathic compounds from Black Walnut. Though found in the wild the Southeastern U.S. we do not know where 'John Clayton' originated. Established potted vine, cutting grown.
