Lonicera x americana | Also known as: Evergreen honeysuckle, Lonicera grata | Rating: votes | Print / Pdf
A semi-evergreen or deciduous climbing perennial, lonicera x americana is a hybrid of lonicera implexa and lonicera etrusca. Called the American woodbine, its foliage comprises dark green, ovate leaves, which may be retained in mild winter areas – thus its alternative name, the evergreen honeysuckle. In summer, it produces clusters of richly perfumed, long tubular flowers, with the typical elegance of a honeysuckle. Their white upper petals open like a fan, and the lower tongue turns yellow as they mature and eventually deep red. In autumn, they’re replaced with clusters of red globular berries. A perfect option for courtyard or cottage gardens, it thrives in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Pruning after flowering is advised.
