Honeysuckle - Harlequin

Honeysuckle - Harlequin, Lonicera periclymenum 'Harlequin', is a variegated deciduous vine that produces leaves with two shades of green with creamy white margins. These leaves brighten to hot pink in the fall. Red stems hold wonderfully scented flowers of pale rose purple with a cream tip. Harlequin's flowers last all summer long and often into fall, but the foliage is just as interesting as the flowers, so Harlequin's fall foliage color adds additional charm. Indifferent to heat and humidity, it's the one you want for those dry, difficult spots. Let it scramble across the ground in areas where few other things will grow -- its vining habit can be horizontal as easily as vertical! If trained on a trellis, Harlequin needs to be tied to a vertical stake at planting time for support as it grows. It prefers sun to light shade.
