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 flowers add a subtle charm and may emit a gentle fragrance. After flowering, small fruits may appear, black or dark blue in color, offering a beautiful contrast with the foliage.

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. 'Little Honey' is also appreciated for its ability to create a green space in the shaded areas of the garden, where few other plants usually grow.
