This
variety of climbing Honeysuckle of our new range CAPRILIA
® is a mixed hybrid between Lonicera henryi
and Lonicera japonica 'Aureoreticulata'.
CAPRILIA
® Ever is hardy and shows good persistence
in winter.
This selection shows a lesser development than its parent plant
Lonicera henryi.
Height: 2.50 m to 3.00 m Width 2.00 m
This plant is a good
flowerer in June. The flowers are small and displayed in groups that contrast
well to the foliage; they are of light violet colour at the budding and flowering
stage changing to a yellow orange before wilting. They are scented, in contrast
to Lonicera henryi. Some second flowers are noticeable in September.
Dark blue
fruits appear at the end of summer and persist for a long time.
Tests by INRA
have shown that its straight mid-green foliage is very resistant to black spot,
oïdium and greenfly.
Uses
Can
be grown in any type of soil under the condition that it is well drained; it must
be watered well during its plantation year.
Of good growth, CAPRILIA
® Ever will embellish the winter and the end of spring trained against
a wall in sunny or half shade position.
Cut back for a balanced plant.
