Grows quickly but not too fast.Smells and tastes sweet-you can eat the nectar my kids love it !!. Hummingbirds love it too. It's a beautiful plant, I'm always complimented on it.

I planted Major Wheeler Honeysuckle 2 years ago and it has brought hummingbirds to my yard earlier than past years and keeps them coming back. They love it so much they fight over it. I am going to plant 3 more Major Wheelers on different sides of the house this coming fall so they wont have to compete for it next year.
