Lonicera crassifolia 'Little Honey' (Evergreen) - Caprifoi tarator
Lonicera crassifolia 'Little Honey' is a variety of honeysuckle, known for its compact habit and decorative foliage. This plant stands out with its creeping growth and small, dense, oval to round leaves, which add a splash of color to the garden, having a shade of deep green that seems to shine under the sun's rays. Under certain light conditions, the leaves may take on golden reflections or darker edges, contributing to the plant's vibrant appearance. In the cold season, the leaves usually turn reddish-purple.
During the flowering period, usually starting from May to June, Lonicera 'Little Honey' produces delicate flowers in pale yellow and cream shades, which attract pollinators to the garden.

The plant is valued for its tolerance to various growing conditions, being able to be cultivated both in sunny areas and in partial shade. It is relatively drought-resistant once established and can be used in various landscape arrangements, from borders and groups to ground cover uses, due to its low and spreading habit.
