Evergreen Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) is a beautiful vine that blooms profusely in warm, sheltered places throughout the summer with bright red and orange flowers.

This climbing evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub reaches a height of up to 3 m. The shoots are glabrous.

Elliptical or ovoid leaves, 3-8 cm long and 1.5-5 cm wide, sit on short petioles. The upper side of the leaves is smooth, dark green, the lower is bluish-gray, sometimes with soft pubescence. Often 1 or 2 pairs of leaves under the inflorescences grow together into a round or slightly oblong disc.

Evergreen honeysuckle flowers are odorless. Their color changes from yellow to orange-red. The corolla is 4-5 cm long. The stamens and the column protrude slightly beyond the limb. The color of the berries is scarlet red.

Evergreen honeysuckle is widespread in North America. Introduced in 1686 Introduced in our country in 1816

In the European part of the USSR, young shoots of this species of honeysuckle suffer from frost. It is quite justified for Central Asia, the Caucasus, Ukraine.

A more stable hybrid of evergreen and rough honeysuckles is Brown's honeysuckle, which has forms with flowers of red, orange-red, dark orange-red shades.

Brown's honeysuckle blooms annually in Moscow, secondary flowering is often observed early autumn but the fruit is often not set.

Among the many species of honeysuckle (Lonicera), there are both bushy and vines - deciduous and evergreen. Honeysuckle-lianas are good as ground covers and for vertical gardening (design of arches, retaining walls and gazebos; masking the trunks of old trees and hedges). Curly honeysuckles adorn the garden at any time of the year, especially during the flowering period, when they are completely covered with elongated tubular flowers in spectacular inflorescences at the ends of the shoots.

Liana-like honeysuckle has many advantages: numerous leaves and abundant flowering, bright and fragrant flowers (these are wonderful honey plants), ornamental fruits. The leaves of most types of honeysuckle are elliptical, dark green above, and gray below.

Among the honeysuckle-lianas in the garden, the following species are most often grown:

Or fragrant(L. caprifolium) is a deciduous liana capable of rising up to 10 meters in height with the help of a support. IN middle lane In Russia, it is the most common of the curly honeysuckle; it is quite frost-hardy, hibernates under the snow (the tips of the shoots often freeze slightly). Honeysuckle is photophilous, demanding on soil fertility and moisture. The leaves are rather large (the upper 2-3 pairs of leaves are fused), turn yellow at the end of October. The flowers that appear on honeysuckle honeysuckle in early summer are very fragrant (especially in the evening), white or yellowish inside, purple or reddish outside. It blooms for about 3 weeks. Elegant fruits ripen in early August and decorate the vine until late autumn. The orange-red berries of the honeysuckle have a short stalk, framed by green leaves, they seem to glow.

- gray honeysuckle(L. dioica) looks very similar to honeysuckle, but more "miniature" (up to 2 meters high). Decorative, resistant, easily multiplies.

- curly honeysuckle, or German honeysuckle(L. periclymenum) - common European deciduous honeysuckle (up to 5 meters long). Unlike ordinary honeysuckle, this species does not have accrete leaves on the tips of the shoots. Grows successfully in partial shade in a well-ventilated place on rich soils. Blooms in June-August; depending on the variety, the color of the flowers is white, yellow-pink, purple. The fruits are red. In the conditions of Moscow, annual shoots freeze a little, but then the plant quickly recovers.

- American honeysuckle(L. americana) - the most powerful vine of all climbing honeysuckle (reaches a height of 6 meters) with dark purple-violet shoots and a dense branching crown. Blooms in July for about 2 weeks; large fragrant cream flowers with a purple base. Prefers loose, nutritious, moderately moist soils.

- Honeysuckle Hecrotta(L. heckrottii) is a hybrid of American and evergreen honeysuckle, growing up to 3-4 meters. The flowers are bicolor (yellowish inside, purple outside) or orange-pink. Blooms continuously from June to September. In the conditions of Moscow, it suffers from frost.

- brown honeysuckle(L. brownii) - hybrid of evergreen and rough honeysuckle; reaches a height of 2.5 meters. Has a lot garden forms with different colors of flowers (they are usually odorless), appearing on the plant intermittently from June to late autumn.

- Thälmann's honeysuckle(L. tellmaniana) is a very decorative deciduous vine of hybrid origin. Blooms from the second half of June for 3 weeks; flowers are orange-yellow, odorless.

Evergreen and semi-evergreen honeysuckle-vines are very beautiful, but, unfortunately, they are very thermophilic; among them:

- Japanese honeysuckle(L. japonica) - semi-evergreen or evergreen liana with yellow flowers, climbing a support to a height of 6 meters; there is a form with golden, wrinkled leaves. It is successfully grown in regions with a warm climate; in the conditions of Moscow, it freezes strongly (even under the snow) until death.

- honeysuckle henry(L. henryi) - semi-evergreen liana with brownish-red flowers; takes out shading. It is thermophilic, it freezes under the conditions of Moscow.

- evergreen honeysuckle blooms for 4-5 months with large reddish or orange flowers up to 5 cm in diameter, which are then replaced by brightly colored fruits. Very thermophilic.

Most species of honeysuckle-lianas like a sunny location, but shading at the base is very favorable for them. Lianas are quite shade-tolerant (however, in the shade, the flowering of honeysuckles begins later and it is less abundant).

Honeysuckle-lianas grow quickly, many species are undemanding to the soil (but develop better on fertile, moist soil), they tolerate transplanting and pruning the crown well due to their high shoot-forming ability. The liana is thinned out after flowering, while cutting out the excess old stems.
It is recommended to feed honeysuckles growing on marginal soils with mineral fertilizers in the spring.

Climbing honeysuckle reproduces easily: by seeds, green cuttings, layering.

Planting honeysuckle

For vines, you need to choose a well-lit planting site. In partial shade, the plant will also feel good.
Before planting, you need to decide how the honeysuckle will be used:

for landscaping gazebos, arches;
like a hedge;
as an ornamental ground cover plant.

After the purpose of the plant has been chosen, it is necessary to prepare a place for planting.
Most species need fertile, well-drained soil, so a mixture of soil should be poured into the prepared hole, mineral fertilizers and humus.

It's important to know: if you want the vine to grow significantly in area in the future, it is necessary to plant the cuttings not in a hole, but in a trench, which must also be prepared for planting.

Climbing vines care

The plant is easy to grow, and if you follow certain rules, you can get beautiful decoration your garden that will be admired for years to come. In the hot season, it is necessary to provide good watering, but do not forget about the drainage when planting. Watering is necessary when there is no bright sun: in the morning or in the evening.

After watering, loosen the soil under the plant to prevent crust formation. Curly young shoots must initially be carefully attached to the support, over time they will become stiff and will firmly adhere to the support structure.

The vine should be cut in the second year after planting. If left in the form in which it grows, then the honeysuckle will very quickly turn into a tangled clump of branches. Frozen shoots are cut. If you renew the plant occasionally by cutting off the branches, you will get a lush and long flowering.

For the winter, honeysuckle should be covered, even if it is hardy. You need to do this late autumn, before the first frost.

Note: the plant should be laid in front of the shelter not on bare ground, but on boards or a dense layer of leaves.

When the vine has been living in your garden for quite a long time, you should not detach the stems from the support and wrap them up, because suckers have already formed on it, which have grown to the support, thereby you can injure the plant along its entire length. Choose from 2 options:

vertical shelter;
mulching the soil around the bush (Mulching - covering the soil various materials e.g. sawdust).

You need to open honeysuckle in early spring when the threat of frost passes, somewhere in the middle of April.

Reproduction of honeysuckle

There are several types of honeysuckle breeding:

direct planting of seeds in the ground in spring;
cuttings with a 2-year shoot (sprinkle with earth in spring);
rooting in June - July in moist soil (herbaceous cuttings).

As you can see, the selection of honeysuckle varieties is quite large and caring for it is no more difficult than for other vines. It is recommended to use honeysuckle in combination with climbing roses and clematis.
