Lonicera Flowering Shrub
Lonicera Flowering Shrub
Lonicera Caprifolium Flowering Shrub
Europe. This species resembles Lonicera Periclymenum, but is readily distinguished by the sessile flower-heads, and fawny-orange flowers.
Lonicera Flexuosa Flowering Shrub
Japan, 1806. This is a pretty species, and one of the most useful of the climbing section. By its slender, twining, purplish stems, it may at once be distinguished, as also by the deep green, purplish-tinted leaves, and sweetly-scented flowers of various shades of yellow and purple. A native of China, and perfectly hardy as a wall plant. Lonicera flexuosa aureo-reticulata is a worthy variety, in which the leaves are beautifully netted or variegated with yellow.
Lonicera Fragrantissima Flowering Shrub
China, 1845. This species is often confounded with Lonicera Standishii, but differs in at least one respect, that the former is strictly a climber, while the latter is of bushy growth. The leaves, too, of Lonicera Standishii are hairy, which is not the case with the other species. It is a very desirable species, with white fragrant flowers, produced during the winter season.
Lonicera Periclymenum Flowering Shrub
Honeysuckle, or Woodbine. An indigenous climbing shrub, with long, lithe, and twisted cable-like branches, and bearing heads of sweetly-scented, reddish-yellow flowers. This is a favourite wild plant, and in the profusion and fragrance of its flowers it is surpassed by none of the exotic species. There are several distinct nursery forms of this plant, including those known as Lonicera Periclymenum Late Dutch, Lonicera Periclymenum Early Cream, and Lonicera Periclymenum odoratissimum; as also one with variegated foliage.
Lonicera Sempervirens Flowering Shrub
Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle. A North American evergreen species (1656), with scarlet, almost inodorous flowers, produced freely during the summer. For wall covering it is one of the most useful of the family. The variety Lonicera sempervirens minor is worthy of attention.
Lonicera Standishii Flowering Shrub
A Chinese species (1860), has deliciously fragrant while flowers, with a slight purplish tint, and is well worthy of attention, it soon forming a wall covering of great beauty.
Lonicera Tatarica Flowering Shrub
Tartarian Honeysuckle. Tartary, 1752. This is a very variable species, in so far at least as the colour of flowers is concerned, and has given rise to several handsome varieties. The typical plant has rosy flowers, but the variety Lonicera tatarica albiflora has pure white flowers; and another, Lonicera tatarica rubriflora has freely produced purplish-red flowers.
Lonicera Xylosteum Flowering Shrub
Fly Honeysuckle. Europe (England) to the Caucasus. The small, creamy-white flowers of this plant are not particularly showy, but the scarlet berries are more conspicuous in September and October. The gray bark of the branches has also a distinct effect in winter when grown in contrast to the red-barked species of Cornus, Viburnum, and yellow-barked Osier. It is one of the oldest occupants of British shrubberies. Lonicera Xylosteum leucocarpum has white berries; those of Lonicera Xylosteum melanocarpum are black; and in Lonicera Xylosteum xanthocarpum they are yellow.
The Honeysuckles are all of the readiest culture, and succeed well in
very poor soils, and in that of opposite qualities. Propagated from
cuttings or by layering.
