Product Description
Honeysuckle 'Belgica' produces a profusion of aromatic blooms, each consisting of curved, almost tubular flower heads. The lower rings of cream flowers mature to a vivid lemon shade, whilst the upper rings remain a flamboyant pink, which are highlighted against the dark green foliage. Also known as Dutch Woodbine and Lonicera Belgica, this is a vigorous, vine-like climbing plant which flowers between May and July bringing a profusion of brilliant colour to the summer garden. Honeysuckle 'Belgica' will also yield an explosion of small red fruits when autumn arrives for continued enjoyment. A hardy climber, this variety will happily clamber over walls, fences or pergolas for a striking floral display; where its loose, spreading habit makes it a particularly attractive choice for cottage or wildlife gardens. Growing to a mature height of 5m, it can be pruned accordingly to preference. Supplied as 30-40cm tall caned plants in a 9cm pot.
