You already have your answer but I just wanted to say I have 7 Lonicera sempervirens on my small property tucked between shrubs and growing up trellises and arbors. As previously stated by scutler they are a top rated vine for wildlife. I also had nests in 3 of mine. In early spring they tend to attract aphids and the birds even eat them for me. Of course they don't clear them entirely and the first flush of flowers are distorted but by the second flush the flowers are perfect. I love this vine. I have the red "Blanche Sandman", the yellow "John Clayton" (which is a little less vigorous then "Blanche" so it's an excellent choice for a smaller space) and the real disappointment
"Magnifica" which blooms just once and sparely.
