Linnaea floribunda is a species of flowering plant in the honeysuckle family, Caprifoliaceae, native to Mexico.[1][3] Growing to 4 m (13 ft) tall and broad, it is a semi-evergreen or evergreen shrub with shiny ovate leaves and clusters of tubular cerise flowers to 5 cm (2.0 in) long. Though hardy down to −10 °C (14 °F) it prefers a sheltered location, for instance against a south-facing stone wall.

Under its synonym Vesalea floribunda it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.[4][5]
