Lonicera sempervirens 'Major Wheeler'
Choose Major Wheeler if you want a native red-flowering vine that brings hummingbirds close. The tradeoff: it needs a real support and some guiding, not a spot where you want a self-supporting shrub.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | The red tubular flowers make a strong seasonal statement and are especially useful near patios, porches, and garden paths. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills in quickly once established, which is helpful on a bare trellis but can mean extra guiding. |
| Maintenance | B | It is not fussy, but it still needs a support, occasional pruning, and direction as it climbs. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B | It works well vertically, but it is still a vigorous vine and should not be squeezed into a tiny, unsupported spot. |
| Screening Value | C | It can soften a fence or trellis in season, but it is not a dense privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Major Wheeler for customers who already have a sturdy trellis, fence, or arbor and want flowers with real pollinator value rather than privacy screening.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
