Orange Flowering Vines

Most vines grow well with average soil moisture and partial shade, though some can take full shade or full sun giving the home gardener more options for use in the landscape. Enjoying your orange flowered vines longer can be accomplished by planting several different types that blossom and bloom at different times. This way you add to your landscape color palette.

Vines can be grown on trellises, fences and pergolas, around patios and decks, under trees, and directly on walls. Many of the orange flowering vines also have lovely fall or Autumn foliage colors, or beautiful fruits or berries. In addition, many of these vines attract butterflies and birds, particularly Hummingbirds to your home garden. 

Several striking hybrids have been in the Horticultural trade long enough to be thought of as Old Favorites. Trumpet Vine Hybrid 'Madame Galen' has spectacular blooms, is winter hardy while also prospering in the summer heat of the Southern States. Several others clones are available that widen the bloom color options. RedGold Honeysuckle has flowers that are the showiest of the vining honeysuckles. The blossoms combine yellow, orange and red that is lovely even from a distance. 

Some orange flowering vines are native plants that frequently helps the plant be more insect resistant and salt tolerant and have natural disease resistance. Many of these vines are successfully used in stressful urban settings. The native vines with orange flowers that add so much for landscaping include: Hummingbird Vine, Trumpet Honeysuckle, Yellow Honeysuckle which can bloom orange, yellow or orange-yellow; and Quartervine.
