    Vining honeysuckle, to 25', with gray-green foliage that is softer than the more commonly grown L. japonica. Flowers appear in spring with some fall rebloom, opening to white curled petals that fade to yellow. Fragrant, of course and a lovely texture. Sun where temperatures are cool and light shade in hottest climates. Requires regular summer water. Evergreen or semi-deciduous, depending on winter cold. Frost hardy to 15 °F, mid USDA zone 8.
