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 accents, which bloom from June to August. The plant forms a dense mass of vegetation and is ideal for quickly covering trellises, fences, or walls, providing both decorative value and visual protection.

Lonicera henryi produces edible fruits - although they don't taste great (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 climate regions.

✔️ Key advantages:

• Persistent foliage, dark green and glossy

• Tubular, fragrant flowers in shades of yellow and reddish orange

• Vigorous and dense climbing plant

• Fast and effective coverage of vertical surfaces

• Frost resistance: up to approx. -15°C (protected, foliage is retained even in winter)

Cultivation details:

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

• Mature height: 3–5 m (with support)

• Positioning: prefers partial shade but also tolerates sun

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

• Watering: constant, 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

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

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