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.

Great service. Plants were in great condition. I'll give them a few weeks to get settled but looks great already!

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
