Henry's Honeysuckle Plants
Henry's Honeysuckle Plants
'Henry's' Honeysuckle has attractive yellow and red tubular flowers from early summer onwards.
It prefers to have its roots moist but is happy in most soils as long as it has good drainage. It only needs pruning to keep it within bounds and to remove old, dead and dying growth. It provides nectar for bees, butterflies and ladybirds and berries in autumn for hungry birds.
'Henryi' makes up for its milder scent by being probably the most reliable of the evergreen honeysuckles, with beautifully arranged leaves on each stem.
Browse our variety of honeysuckle or our full range of climbing plants.
Features
- Evergreen, elongated, dark green leaves
- Lovely purplish red tubular flowers in June and July
- Will grow to an eventual height and spread of 10m x 2m
- Fully hardy
- Needs support
- Rabbit and deer resistant.
- Sun or partial shade
Growing Henryi Honeysuckle
It's deer, rabbit and windproof and will, therefore, prove perfect for siting in an exposed or woodland position where it could cover a fence or tree stump. It can also be used to cover pergolas, arches and boundary walls. It's a woodland and cottage garden plant not suitable for formal planting. It'll associate well with other Lonicera varieties and climbing roses.
History & Trivia
It was introduced into the UK in 1908 from Western China. It was found by Augustine Henry (1857 - 1930) an Irish doctor and botanist who went to China in search of medicinal plants.
