Description
Lonicera japonica ‘Halliana’
An outstanding vine with yellow and white flowers that add a delightful fragrance to summer landscapes. Perfect as cover for fences, and walls, or as a shrubby groundcover. An excellent solution for a fast growing screen, even with poor soils. Semi-evergreen in milder climates; deciduous in colder areas. Twining stems reach 15 to 30 ft. tall, with support.
This is the most commonly seen Honeysuckle. Produces rampant growth capable of engulfing wire or chain-link fences in just a couple of seasons. A reliable, fragrant evergreen vine for a shade arbor. Excellent for screening, to drape over an unsightly wall or wood fence. A country-garden standby often trained onto dilapidated outbuildings or into the branches of dead trees. Capable of covering huge amounts of space in a short time, this vine makes a great groundcover on banks and slopes for erosion control. Be aware that is can be quite invasive.
Easily grown in average, well-drained soils; highly adaptable. Benefits from some shade in hot summer regions. Water deeply, regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency, once established. Provide support for twining vertical growth. Apply fertilizer in spring. Prune annually to control size.
