Lonicera Japonica 'Halls Prolific' (Japanese Honeysuckle)

Garden Centre > Plants > Climbers > J

Position: full sun or partial shade
Soil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil
Rate of growth: fast-growing
Flowering period: April to August
Hardiness: fully hardy
As its name suggests, this is an especially vigorous and free-flowering variety with masses of sweetly scented, tubular flowers from April to August, opening pure white and ageing to yellow. In milder winters, the handsome, dark green leaves can stay on the plant all year and in hot summers, the flowers may be followed by small purple-black berries. It looks lovely scrambling over an old boundary wall or growing through a robust, mature tree. Garden care: Cut back established plants after flowering, removing a third of the flowering shoots. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant in early spring.
