A fantastic dense, fast growing, evergreen which is a brilliant hedging alternative to privet, box and leylandii. Its densely packed pale gold leaves, borne on long stems, are tiny so it forms a very dense hedge. It has a high tolerance to clipping which makes it ideal as a neat, formal hedge and can sometimes produce off white, fragrant flowers in the Spring following a particular good Summer. More commonly known as Wilson's Honeysuckle or Poor Man's Yew as it is a very cost effective choice of hedging plant. Due to its fast growth rate and tiny leaves on supple stems, it is also a very popular choice for topiary.
Lonicera Nitida is suitable for shady sites, and most soil types, but not wet or windy sites, or seaside gardens. Fully hardy.
Height: Will look great up to about 2 meters tall but can then become scraggly.
