Hummingbird vines that do not attract bees

16 years ago

I realize this may be a silly question, but I have a new fence that I wanted to train a hummingbird vine on. Unfortunately, the fence is along a walkway so I don't want to attract bees as well. Does anyone have any suggestions for hummingbird vines that do not attract bees and grows well in Georgia? My local Lowes has suggested Alabama Crimson honeysuckle as a good specimen, but I don't know if that is because they have sevearal plants unsold. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I thought they all did. My mother has a Honeysuckle (although not sure which one) that is covered in bees and Hummers.

I hope someone else has a better answer for you, I'd sure like to know that as well. Kinda scary when all the flowers you want to have attract hummers AND those other things you are allergic too. :(
