Japanese Honeysuckle| Lonicera japonica 'Mint Crisp'
The Highlights
- Eyecatching semi-evergreen marbled foliage
- Clusters of sweet smelling ivory and gold blooms
- Perfect for attracting bees and other wildlife
- Trails and twists around an arbour seat or sunny wall
- Leaves develop a blush-pink hue in Autumn
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out

Care Guide
Excellent pest and disease resistance
If honeysuckle aphids appear, wipe them off and spray the leaves with soapy water. Spring feeding will help to prevent powdery mildew. MORE
Keep moist and water during dry spells
Keep soil moist, watering weekly in the warmer months and fortnightly in Winter if dry.
Sun/Partial shade
Lonicera will be happy in sun or partial shade. Avoid strong sunlight, which can scorch your plant.
Chalk/Clay/Loam/Sand
Lonicera thrives in any soil type as long as it is moist and well-drained.
Feed in Spring
