Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit
Bring rich color and graceful height to your garden with Lonicera 'Mandarin' Honeysuckle. This vigorous deciduous vine welcomes early summer with a generous display of tubular flowers, followed by intermittent blooms into fall. Clustered at the stem tips, the flowers open copper purple before revealing vibrant mandarin-orange exteriors and lighter orange interiors. Nectar-rich blooms invite hummingbirds and butterflies, while the small berries that follow attract birds.
With its climbing, twining habit, 'Mandarin' quickly clothes an arbor, trellis, wall, or fence in lush growth and warm color. Train it over a garden entrance or along a favorite sitting area to enjoy its blooms up close.
Cold hardy and easy to care for, 'Mandarin' thrives in sun to part sun and fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil. Deer resistance and generally good pest and disease resistance make this award-winning honeysuckle a rewarding addition to the garden.
