Notes

'Halliana' Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica 'Halliana') is a vine for borders, ground cover, and climbing on a fence or trellis. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet soil of most types. Fragrant white flowers open in late spring, age to creamy yellow, and keep coming through summer. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.

Pairs well with Woodbine, Wild bergamot, and Switchgrass.
