More information

Adorable honeysuckle, shrub with voluble stems, its foliage of a beautiful dark green lustrous persists in winter. The young spring shoots are brown, decorative. The flowering begins in May and continues until the first frosts. The flowers, gathered in bouquets, open in pink then turn to apricot and white, forming a beautiful contrast with the foliage. This very hardy variety requires little maintenance. It enjoys the head in the sun and the foot in the shade, in an ordinary soil that does not dry out too much. Winner of the Innovert competition in 2022.

Description

Lonicera 'Marinella' is a hybrid honeysuckle with moderate growth, both bushy and climbing, remarkably floriferous, adorned with beautiful evergreen foliage. It produces a multitude of flowers in shades of pink, apricot, and white, slightly fragrant, from spring to autumn without interruption. This flowering, which occurs along the stems, creates a superb contrast with the foliage and the young brown stems. If left untrained, it forms a gracefully trailing bush, which is very attractive. Naturally, it also wraps around a trellis or a small wire fence. Finally, this lovely variety also adapts very well to pot cultivation, to decorate balconies and terraces.

The 'Venloma' Marinella honeysuckle is a plant from the Caprifoliaceae family. It is a French horticultural creation awarded at the Innovert exhibition in 2022. This honeysuckle is more bushy than truly climbing, although its stems are voluble. It has a moderately fast growth rate and will reach about 3m (10ft) in height and 2m (7ft) in width if not pruned or trained to climb. Its young brown shoots give way to large ovate-lanceolate leaves, entire, leathery, and evergreen in winter. Their colour is a glossy dark green, turning dark brown in autumn and winter if it gets cold. The flowering begins in May and continues continuously until October-November, provided the soil does not dry out too much, of course. The flowers appear along the stems, in the axils of the leaves, on each new shoot produced by the plant. The elongated trumpet-shaped flowers measure about 4cm (2in) long and are gathered in small clusters. Their colour changes from pink and white to orange-yellow. They form a quite striking contrast with the foliage which is dark green with a leathery appearance. The flowering of honeysuckles is visited by bees and butterflies.

This remarkable 'Marinella' honeysuckle can be planted in the ground in any exposure, as long as the base remains shaded, but it also lends itself very well to pot cultivation. It forms a beautiful combination with clematis, on a trellis or fence, wrapping its voluble stems around the support provided. It will delight you with its generosity on the terrace or near an opening (window, entrance). It can also be installed in a hedge, in the company of flowering shrubs such as lilacs, mock oranges, Deutzias, or with evergreen shrubs such as Mahonias or holly. Its evergreen foliage allows you to create a nice privacy screen, to camouflage a wall or a small fence even in winter.

Planting and care

Plant Lonicera 'Marinella' in ordinary, preferably moist soil (not too dry in summer), with the base in shade and the top in sunlight to encourage flowering, even though this plant is tolerant of different exposures. Honeysuckles thrive in any good, deep, loose, and moderately fertile garden soil, without excessive limestone. They are hardy climbing plants, ideal for quickly dressing up a wall or arbor. Provide them with support, they will attach themselves.

Care

Pruning instructions Practice a cleaning pruning every year at the end of winter, as honeysuckle flowers on the wood of the year. It is also possible to severely cut back an older plant to completely renew its structure. This restoration should be done over one or two years. If you wish, for the safety of adventurous and reckless eaters, you can remove the fruits after flowering.
