Japanese honeysuckle
Lonicera japonica 'Halliana'
Overview
Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica 'Halliana') is a vigorous climbing woody vine that can quickly take over and cover fences, trellises, or arbors. This frost-tolerant evergreen produces fragrant white or yellow flowers in mid to late spring and attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. The 1-2 inch long, dark-blue berries are sweet tasting and a favorite of many birds. Pruning is recommended to keep the vines from becoming invasive. Japanese honeysuckle is sure to add aesthetic beauty and brighten any space with its eye-catching blooms.
