Hi @schrecka

I just wanted to add that most species of honeysuckle are aggressively invasive and can shade out native ground cover plants.

I've done some work in Lawrence, Ks on a riverbank ecosystem restoration project and the two most common and hard to get rid of plants are two species of honeysuckle (japanese honeysuckle and bush honeysuckle).

I see that you're concerned about the invasiveness of the trumpet vine and just wanted to add a little bit of context because as beautiful as they can be, honeysuckle are actually quite harmful.

I would recommend doing a little research on native vining plants to your area, they would be very low-maintenance and grow well.

Here's a website with some information that you might find helpful in your search!

I wish you the best of luck!
