Lonicera henryi 'Copper Beauty' - parfum puternic, foliaj spectaculos permanent verde

Lonicera henryi 'Copper Beauty' is a variety of evergreen climbing honeysuckle, native to China, highly valued for its glossy, persistent foliage, in metallic shades and for its delicate, tubular flowers in shades of yellow–orange with some reddish touches, which bloom from June to August. The plant forms a dense mass of greenery and is ideal for quickly covering trellises, fences, or walls, providing both decorative value and visual screening.

Lonicera henryi produces edible fruits – although they do not taste very good (personal opinion), they are considered medicinal in Asian culture.

It is an excellent choice for shady or semi-shady gardens, being one of the few honeysuckle species that keeps its leaves throughout the winter in milder climates.

✔️ Key advantages:

• Persistent, dark green and glossy foliage

• Fragrant tubular flowers in shades of yellow and reddish orange

• Vigorous and dense climbing plant

• Quick and effective coverage of vertical surfaces

• Frost hardy: down to approx. -15°C (when sheltered, foliage is retained even in winter)

Growing details:

• Plant type: perennial vine, semi-evergreen/evergreen

• Mature height: 3–5 m (with support)

• Position: prefers partial shade but tolerates sun

• Soil: fertile, well-drained, with moderate moisture

• Watering: consistent, especially in the first years

• Flowering: June–August

Recommendation: It can be used both as a climbing plant and as ground cover on slopes or inclined spaces. Light pruning after flowering is recommended to control the shape.

Height including pot: approx. 50-60 cm
Pot diameter: 15 cm

Plants for garden or terrace are grown in unprotected spaces or with minimal protection (shade nets or hail nets). For this reason, naturally, they cannot have perfect foliage – leaves may show marks, defects, or other damage.

This variety loses its leaves when grown in a pot – during autumn, winter, and spring seasons it will be delivered without leaves.
