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 research conducted about this plant in our library and from reliable online sources. We also take into consideration observations of this plant in our nursery crops, as well as of plants growing in the nursery's garden and those in other gardens we visit. We also will incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome getting feedback from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if it includes cultural information that would aid others in growing Lonicera japonica 'Halliana'. |
