Growing Creeping Japanese Honeysuckle

Great for any number of situations, scrambling over low walls, over arches and pergolas or into trees. It associates very well with other honeysuckles and climbing roses or can be planted with a clematis scrambling together over a fence or tree stump. It's essentially a woodland and cottage garden plant suiting informal planting schemes.

History & Trivia

It's almost identical to L. japonica, the main difference being the comparative lack of downy hairs on the underside of the leaves.
