Most of the species are small trees or shrubs. Honeysuckle is cultivated in private gardens and in cities as an ornamental because of its large, fragrant flowers and brilliant red fruits. Hardy in zones 4-8. Lonicera - Honeysuckle Family: Caprifoliaceae. (Lonic-era: after Adam Lonitizer, 1528-1586, German physician and naturalist) Lovely yellow and pink flowers, (especially fragrant at night) can adorn this vine from summer to fall. What is even more enticing are the beautifully variegated leaves, often cream-edged with pink highlights. It can be pruned to a two-foot shrub or trained against a wall. Variegated hummingbirds will love you! Super fall color. Cream, pink and dark green, irregularly variegated leaves. Wonderfully scented tubular flowers of pale rose-purple with a white to yellow lip from May to July. Can be grown as a low spreading shrub or trained up a trellis as a vine. Wonderful fall colors. Discovered in a private garden in Ipswich, England.

I've had problems in the past ordering plants through some suppliers when they send it through the mail, but this order was picked up and shipped through the mail in under a day, arrived within a few days and was in really great shape when I received it. Small contained that was easy to plant, but nice, well-developed vine. I'll be ordering from Hirt's again.

Do not recommend. This came with some kind of worm pest and it is very small/fragile and shows no sign of variegation. The worm looking thing freaked me out a bit.

Beware that this plant comes very small. You'll have to plant and grow. I will update post next spring 2018. When the plant arrived it came in great condition good leaves just tiny. It did go through a shock. Where did drop some leaves but I think it'll be okay. Can't wait to see these purple leaves

I looked everywhere for this plant and found it on Amazon. I was pleased when it arrived to see two healthy plants. One is planted and doing well. I need to get the other one planted.

It was a very small plant, and it was almost dead when I got it. I unpacked it and almost all of the leaves were dead and immediately fell off. When I contacted the seller, they refunded it in about a minute, which was amazing. I was just disappointed, this was supposed to be a gift, and then I was left without one.

I received the item in good condition and followed all instructions about keeping it indoors for a couple days before transferring to the outdoors. Just a few drops of water to keep the original soil moist. I transferred it to a five gallon pot, using potting soil with a little mixture of peat moss and humus/manure and stored it in an indirect light area near a large tree. The summer heat has been brutal here in the Mid-Atlantic area this year (2011) so I kept it protected. Right away the leaves started falling off the plant. Its been a few weeks and the plant only has a few leaves left at the top. From past experience with plants I decided to keep up with its care and noticed small white buds appearing on the stems, about where the old foliage fell off. My hope is the plant survives and even flourishes as fall comes around. I haven't given up on the plant and hope I can change the rating to a five if new growth appears.
