Abstract
A new and distinct Lonicera hybrid (Honeysuckle) plant is provided that forms attractive, extremely large tubular-shaped flowers. Such flowers are a dark reddish-orange on the outside and a paler reddish-orange on the inside. The foliage coloration contrasts nicely with the flower coloration and initially is brownish and with maturity becomes glossy deep green. The growth habit is vigorous thereby making possible the formation of a unique colorful screening vine within a relatively short period of time. The new cultivar grows particularly well on a trellis or fence.
