Characteristics
Obtention: INRA
/ SAPHINOV - European P.B.R.
This
selection of climbing Honeysuckle of our new range CAPRILIA
® derives from the Lonicera periclymenum
'Florida'. It grows in the shape of a column: the young shoots develop by turning
their tips inwards towards the plant, thus reducing its volume.
Height 2.00
m to 2.50 m. Width 1.00 m to 1.50 m
This variety is covered in pink flower
buds from the beginning of July, then turning cream and finally yellow before
wilting, thus producing a beautiful range of colours. During flowering it gives
off a beautiful fragrance.
The leaves are mid green. Tests by INRA have shown
a good resistance to black spot and it is not too affected by oïdium or greenfly.
Uses
It
can be grown in any type of soil providing it is well drained; it must be watered
well during its plantation year.
Planted in sunny position or half shade, CAPRILIA
® Cream will brighten a moderate garden space, grown along a trellis.
Due to its natural column shape growth, upkeep is reduced. Cut back for a
well balanced plant.
