Lonicera
Honeysuckle
Entrancing hummingbirds and butterflies, our superb no-fuss selections are hardy, undemanding and appreciative of adequately moist fertile soil. Medium Band.
Aptly named and well-worth the wait, this compact highly perfumed cross is the prized outcome of a 10 year breeding program by the Netherlands’ Boskoop Horticultural Research Center. Climbing branches with somewhat rounded, shiny dark green foliage comprise the easily managed bushy growth that boasts a bevy of purplish red buds and clustered tubular blooms, first opening a creamy yellow then darkening to a lovely orange yellow. An award winning cross between Lonicera japonica ‘Halliana’ and Lonicera periclymenum ‘Belgica Select’, ‘Honey Baby’s dwarf evergreen habit can garnish a container, an outdoor living space or a smaller garden, while its delectable smelling flowers unfurl from summer ’til fall. Medium Band.
