Lonicera periclymenum ‘Belgica’ (T-0268)
Each 15.75
Heralding summer, this energetic sweetly scented twiner blooms earlier than most Honeysuckles and is set apart by tubular flowers, whose interiors change color as they mature amid oval semideciduous green leaves. Sprightly deep pink clusters of long slender curling buds open into large crimson bugles with creamy-white centers, which later showcase bright yellow and red shades. Especially fragrant at the end of the day, ‘Belgica’ can be pruned to develop a shrubby bearing or be encouraged to ramble up walls, trellises, pillars, the branches of large shrubs or a Cercidiphyllum. Medium Band.
