There are many species of honeysuckles (Lonicera), but not all of them are climbing vines. Shrub or bush honeysuckles are also common, but they are considered invasive in many parts of the country because their dense growth can crowd out desirable native plants. Most vines, with the exception of the overly aggressive Japanese honeysuckle (L. japonica), are better behaved and easier to manage, particularly the newer compact cultivars.
