Early Dutch Honeysuckle

Lonicera periclymenum ‘Belgica’
Lonicera periclymenum ‘Belgica’

Lonicera

Honeysuckle

Entrancing hummingbirds and butterflies, our superb no-fuss selections are hardy, undemanding and appreciative of adequately moist fertile soil.  Medium Band. 

<i>Lonicera periclymenum</i> ‘Belgica’ <i>Lonicera periclymenum</i> ‘Belgica’

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.

Blooms May–August

Size: 6' 0" – 8' 0" high x 0" & spreading wide.

Hardy to zone 5.
