The Lonicera henryi, also known as Henry's Honeysuckle, is a truly evergreen honeysuckle with dense foliage that remains elegant throughout the year. This vigorous climbing plant, however, has a relatively moderate growth. It wraps its long stems around tree branches and the mesh of a fence, quickly concealing them and adorning them with clusters of slightly fragrant and brightly coloured tubular flowers in late spring and early summer. This botanical honeysuckle, curiously not widely planted in our gardens, was recognized at Courson for its real ornamental qualities and ease of cultivation.
Â
Henry's Honeysuckle is a plant from the Caprifoliaceae family, native to China and Tibet. In the wild, this plant shows vigorous growth, making it suitable for slightly wild open spaces. In our climates, depending on the growing conditions, it rarely exceeds 5m (16ft) in height and 3m (10ft) in width. In spring, its bronze-coloured young shoots give way to 10cm (4in) long, entire, leathery and evergreen oval-lanceolate leaves with a medium green colour, smooth and shiny in appearance. This foliage withstands inclement weather, but sometimes curls slightly under the cold. Flowering occurs from June to July, in the axils of the leaves and at the ends of the branches, in the form of cymes. The slim trumpet-shaped flowers are yellow to ochre and tinted with pink-purple, releasing white and prominent stamens. This fragrant, nectar-rich and honey-producing flowering is followed by the formation of small fleshy black-purple berries, toxic to humans but highly appreciated by birds.
Â
This superb Henry's Honeysuckle can be planted directly in the ground, in any exposure as long as the base remains shaded. Truly evergreen, robust and adaptable, it is perfect for covering a fence mesh or filling out a hedge, even in winter. It forms a beautiful combination with clematis, for example on a trellis, wrapping its voluble stems around the support provided. It will delight you with its fragrance on the terrace or near an opening (window, entrance), even in shady areas. It can also be planted in a hedge, alongside flowering shrubs such as lilacs, mock oranges, deutzias, or arbustive ceanothus.

Botanical data
Install Lonicera henryi in a rather moist soil, with the base in the shade and the top in the sun to promote flowering and the scent of the flowers, even though this plant can adapt to all exposures. Take care when planting, and water regularly in very dry weather. Honeysuckles thrive in good deep garden soil, with little to no surface limestone. They are hardy climbing plants, ideal for quickly covering a wall or a pergola. Provide them with support, they will cling on by themselves. We love them for their vigor, long flowering period, and wonderful fragrance. Our advice: Plant it near your terrace to fully enjoy its intoxicating scent, which becomes stronger in the morning and evening. Aphid attacks may occur; in case of a massive attack, spray in the evening with a natural insecticidal spray based on pyrethrin. Please note that the translation of the plant names and terms in the glossary may vary depending on the specific terminology used in British English.Â

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
