Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A non-climbing, bush honeysuckle with long, arching shoots and variegated leaves. Pat McCracken's selection of this tidy SW Chinese shrub "Honeysuckle" with each pert leaf rimmed white. Should be most popular for bonsai lovers. Larger and sturdier than Lonicera nitida 'Silver Beauty', which it resembles. Absurdly rare!
