Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Throughout summer, Lonicera 'American Beauty' bears whorls of tubular flowers, with an irresistibly rich, heady scent. The perfumed blooms are pink on the outside and orange-yellow within, followed by glossy red berries which are loved by birds. In sheltered gardens and particularly mild winters this woody climber remains semi-evergreen, retaining its rounded green foliage all year round. This RHS AGM variety makes a lovely addition to walls and fences, or trained onto pillars and pergolas. Unlike many climbing Lonicera, Honeysuckle 'American Beauty' doesn’t have naturally twining stems, so it will require tying in to supporting wires. Height and spread: 5m (16’).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
