Lonicera japonica 'Halliana' (Japanese Honeysuckle) - This selection differs from the species by the divided upper lip of the white flowers (appearing spring through fall) that change to an apricot color with age. It is a very vigorous vine or groundcover that will quickly cover large areas - as much as 30 feet. It benefits from pruning and thinning. Give same growing requirements as the species. It is hardy to USDA Zone 4 and noted as tolerating temperatures as low as -25F. The cultivar name honors George Rogers Hall (1820-1899), an American medical doctor living in Japan. Dr. Hall founded a garden in Yokohama and shipped many plants to the US that were new to cultivation. Lonicera japonica 'Halliana' unfortunately has become a noxious invasive weed in many areas and is now banned in several New England states.
The information on this page is based on our research that has been conducted in our nursery library and from online sources as well as from observations made of this plant as it grows in the nursery, in the nursery's garden, and in other gardens where it has been observed.
