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 about Lonicera japonica 'Halliana' displayed on this page is based on research conducted in our library and from reliable online resources. We also relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we visit, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others, and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
