Coral honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) is native to Texas and is not nearly as aggressive as the invasive Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), aka 'Halls Honeysuckle'. This popular yellow bloomer is on the national invasive species list. It chokes out our native plants. I encourage you to go with the coral.
