LONICERA......


LONICERA korolkowii    
We have tried to propagate this one before, but have struggled. The foliage is a wonderful shade of almost blue and covered in tiny hairs. The pale pink flowers look wonderful against it. Easily grown despite its propagation difficulties and will make a large shrub to 2m or more. Best in a sunny site.
£15.00

LONICERA maackii 
Large shrub of graceful arching habit, producing an abundance of pinky white flowers which turn yellow with age. They are delightfully fragrant and are followed by dark red berries. It is very effective when trained as a small tree in the same way as Buddleia alternifolia. An extremely easy shrub to grow.

LONICERA periclymenum 'Honeybush' 
I have planted this wonderful shrub all round the garden in strategic places near to paths. It is distinct from the majority of the species by its none climbing habit. However, the flowers are the familiar red and cream, whilst the scent is seemingly better than ever. Easy to grow anywhere and no pruning is essential, though I tidy them up in the winter.

LONICERA purpusii 'Winter Beauty'
Large semi evergreen shrub. Masses of fragrant cream flowers all winter.
£15.00
LONICERA saccata 
This delightful large deciduous shrub is so little known and poorly documented that I was staggered to discover that it was introduced from China in 1910. Of upright habit, the green leaves are flushed purple when young. The typically Honeysuckle shaped flowers are white and produced in midsummer, to be followed by red berries. Easily grown in a reasonably sunny site on well drained soil.

LONICERA tatarica 'Alba'
So many people have asked for this, as we have a large plant part way up the nursery. When in flower, it is rather striking! White flowers in May - June followed by red berries. 3m.

Loropetalum

These are such pretty plants. A handsome deciduous shrub to 2m that is related to Hamamelis (it therefore does not require acid soil so much as good drainage in the winter but adequate moisture retention in summer). The long-lasting, fragrant strap like flowers open in April but can be produced all year round in favourable conditions as the growth ripens. It needs a sheltered site to perform to its best.

LOROPETALUM chinense 'Daybreak's Flame' 
The leaves are essentially an olive green with pretty pink tips to the new growth. The pink flowers are reputedly even larger than those of 'Firedance', whilst the habit is similar.
£18.00

LOROPETALUM chinense 'Fire Dance'    
The long-lasting,  fragrant strap like flowers open in April and are dark pink. It is truly magnificent when in full flower, but the foliage is attractive in it's own right. The young growth is a rich ruby red before maturing to green with reddish veining. I am really excited about this one.
