Does anyone know if a honeysuckle has seeds? This pic is of my red one. Thanks. John Attachments:  |

Yes they do reseed. Wait until the berries are mature, then gather before the birds get them!  I'll trade you something for some of those seeds- I've been really wanting native honeysuckles, but don't want to spend the $50/plant that my nureseries are asking  I have seeds for/ or will have them this fall for: Lyre-leaved Sage (native) Hyssop-leaved Skullcap (native) Joe-Pye Weed (native) Red Hot Poker Sweet Peas Blazing Star Liatris (native) Sunflowers Hopefully other various annuals such as Tithonia, nasturtium. And probably a bunch more plants I can't think of right now

Aurora, I will save the seeds for you. This is a red honeysuckle and it is different than my yellow and pink native, some of the leaves are 3inches across. I just love it and it is a hummingbird magnet. John Attachments:  |

I used to have the largest and thickest red honeysuckle hedge in my garden in Oklahoma and I would absolutely kill for some of those seeds. It seemed my Okie plant never died, it just grew back each year in the spring and it sure attracted loads bees and butterflies and I can recall some humming birds as well maybe they also sucked the sweet nectar. But back then I didnt grow a garden of veggies just the lawn, the trees and the few flowers cuz we had a pool and that was more than enough work. The honeysuckle was always blooming and smelled so lovely. |

I also have the vine pictured in the photo above. I never realized it was a honeysuckle. I will have seeds to trade with anyone. I am looking for the yellow honeysuckle (lonicera flava), but also many other wild flowers native to the Midwest. |
