Description and Growing Information
Flowering Period
| General Description |
| Lonicera japonica 'Aureoreticulata' is a vigorous woody vine invasive to midwestern United States with green leaves marked with attractive golden venation. |
| Landscape |
| Will climb along trellises and fences and makes a good screen for patios and porches near seating where its fragrance can be appreciated. Makes good ground cover and erosion control on banks and slopes. |
| Cultivation |
| Grow in full sun to part shade, in average, moist, well-drained soil containing loam. Leaf colour and flowering are best in full sun. Tolerant of drier soil. Invasive: growth should be monitored closely. Ground cover growth may be cut back using a rotary mower on a high setting. As a general rule, this vine should not be grown where it can climb other plants like shrubs and trees as it will suffocate them. |
