Lonicera japonica 'Red World' - Japanese honeysuckle with red-violet flowers and evergreen foliage

Lonicera japonica 'Red World' is a spectacular and hardy variety of Japanese honeysuckle , noted for its tubular flowers, in intense shades of purple and violet , with a pleasant fragrance and exotic appearance. It blooms profusely from May to August, and its semi-evergreen foliage remains decorative even in the cold season, in milder climates. In case of extreme temperatures or weather phenomena, the plants lose some of their leaves. Specimens grown in pots may lose their leaves completely.

It is a fast and dense climbing plant, ideal for covering fences, trellises, walls or pergolas, while also contributing to attracting butterflies and bees to the garden.

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.

In the fall-winter season, plants are sold without leaves.
