Japanese Honeysuckle

Brief Description

A vigorous perennial evergreen to semi-evergreen woody vine characterized by opposite, oval-shaped leaves and highly fragrant, tubular white flowers that turn yellow with age.

Care Instructions

This plant is highly adaptable and often invasive. It prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-draining soil. Because of its aggressive growth and ability to choke out native species, it is frequently recommended for removal or strict containment rather than cultivation in many regions.

Medicinal Value
