Honeysuckles


 

These rapid twiners thrive in any loamy soil, and may be increased by putting down layers in the autumn, after the leaves begin to fall.

They can also be propagated by cuttings taken in the autumn and planted in a shady, sheltered spot.

Caprifolium Brachypoda and the evergreen C. Sempervirens are handsome, free-flowering kinds, suitable for almost any situation.

C. Aurea-reticulata has beautifully variegated leaves, which render it very ornamental.

Height, 6 ft. to 8 ft.
