Honeysuckle - Gold Net The Honeysuckle 'Gold Net', 'Lonicera japonica 'Aureo-Reticulata', is unlike most Honeysuckle grown today. It is usually grown as a climbing vine, but it can also be grown as a groundcover creeper, or it can be hung from baskets & containers, or over garden walls. In the south, it can be known to be rampant and may be evergreen or semi-evergreen. The small scented yellow flowers will appear in the spring but they are inconspicuous. This Honeysuckle is quite versatile as it can twine up a wall, fence, or trellis, or mound or sprawl as shrubs and ground cover. It is noted for its highly unusual oakleaf-shaped, lime-green and gold veined variegated foliage. In the Pacific Northwest, it will be more restrained and can climb more than twelve feet, unlike many other species. |
