Lonicera henryi - flori si fructe comestibile, foliaj permanent verde

Lonicera henryi is a variety of evergreen climbing honeysuckle , native to China, highly prized for its glossy, persistent foliage and its subtle, tubular flowers, in shades of yellow-orange with reddish accents , which appear from June to August. The plant forms a dense mass of vegetation and is ideal for quickly covering trellises, fences or walls , offering 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 maintains its leaves throughout the winter in regions with milder climates.

Garden or patio 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 pots - in the autumn, winter and spring seasons it will be delivered without leaves.
