LONICERA HENRYII

Planting & Positioning

• Lonicera henryi is an evergreen climbing honeysuckle valued for its glossy dark green foliage and tubular red to yellow flowers in summer.

• Ideal for covering walls, fences, pergolas, and trellis, providing year-round greenery.

• Plant in full sun or partial shade. Flowering is best in a sunny position, but it tolerates shade well.

• Prefers fertile, well-drained soil and adapts to most soil types.

• Avoid sites that remain waterlogged, especially in winter.

• Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and the same depth as the pot.

• Position the plant so the top of the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil.

• Backfill with soil mixed with compost or organic matter and firm gently.

• Water thoroughly after planting.

• Provide sturdy support such as wires or trellis, tying in young shoots as they establish.

Lonicera henryi is well suited to informal gardens and wildlife-friendly planting schemes.

Watering, Feeding & Flowering

• Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots.

• Allow the soil surface to dry slightly between watering, but do not let young plants dry out completely.

• Once established, it is moderately drought tolerant but benefits from watering during prolonged dry periods.

• Container-grown plants will require more frequent watering.

• Feed in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser.

• A light feed in early summer can support flowering and strong growth.

• Avoid excessive nitrogen-rich fertilisers, which may encourage leafy growth over flowers.

• Flowers typically appear in summer, followed by dark berries in autumn if pollinated.

The tubular flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinators, making this climber beneficial for wildlife.

Pruning, Maintenance & General Care

• Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and control size.

• Remove any dead, damaged, or overcrowded stems.

• Thin out congested growth to improve airflow and light penetration.

• Avoid heavy pruning in late autumn, as this may reduce flowering the following season.

• In colder regions, young plants may benefit from some protection during severe frost.

• Apply mulch in spring to conserve moisture and improve soil structure.

• Check occasionally for pests such as aphids or powdery mildew and treat if necessary.

With good support and regular light pruning, Lonicera henryi provides attractive evergreen coverage, seasonal flowers, and reliable structure, making it a versatile climber for a wide range of garden settings
