Lonicera yunnanensis

Overview

Honeysuckle (Lonicera yunnanensis) is an attractive, woody stemmed, evergreen climber native to China. With a generous spread of serrated leaves which are an attractive deep green, as well as numerous fragrant tubular flowers, this species is sure to add beauty to your garden. The tiny yellow and white blooms are especially attractive to pollinating insects, as well as providing food for birds due to its nectar-rich nature. An ideal addition for a trellis or fence, honeysuckle will also make a pretty ground cover. Its hardiness ensures that it thrives in most gardens with minimal maintenance.
