Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The early Dutch honeysuckle, Lonicera periclymenum 'Belgica', is a climber of merit with long-blooming, large, fragrant, deep pink flowers that fade to yellow. Plant honeysuckles where you pass by or spend time in the summer months so you can enjoy the beauty and fragrance of their flowers. Plant to intertwine with clematis or allow to grow onto a fence, trellis or pergola or into large climbing roses, shrubs or small trees.

Heralding summer, this vigorous sweetly perfumed twiner blooms earlier than most Honeysuckles and is set apart by tubular flowers, whose interiors change color as they mature amid semideciduous green oval leaves. Sprightly deep pink clusters of long slender curling buds open into large crimson bugles with creamy white centers, which later showcase bright yellow and red shades. Especially fragrant at the end of the day and grateful for fertile soil, easily grown 'Belgica' can be pruned to develop a shrubby habit or be encouraged to ramble up walls, trellises, pillars, the branches of large shrubs or a Cercidiphyllum. Medium Band.
