Halliana Japanese Honeysuckle Plants

Hall's / Halliana Japanese Honeysuckle Plants

Halliana Honeysuckle, AKA 'Hall's', has fragrant white flowers that age to yellow amongst the attractive evergreen foliage.

It's easy to grow and will rapidly reach 8m, prefers to have its roots in moist, organic matter rich soil, but is happy in most soils as long as it has good drainage.

It only needs pruning to keep it within bounds and to remove old, dead and dying growth. It provides nectar for bees, butterflies and ladybirds and berries in autumn for hungry birds.

Halliana is very similar to the less vigorous Hall's Prolific, which only grows to about 4 metres.

Growing Halliana Honeysuckle

The white flowers look nice, but white lacks contrast against green.

It's essentially a vigorous woodland plant, naturally suiting cottage garden planting schemes.

Great for any number of situations, scrambling over low walls, over arches and pergolas or into trees. It associates very well with other honeysuckles, climbing roses or perhaps best of all with a hot clematis scrambling together over a fence or tree stump. 

History & Trivia

One of the most popular Lonicera japonica varieties, grown in the UK since the end of the 19th century.  

Halliana is named after Dr George Hall, who cultivated it in 1862 at Parsons’ nursery, Flushing, USA.
