Description
Lonicera nitida Scoop, also known as boxleaf honeysuckle, is a new selection characterized by its compact ball-shaped habit. This evergreen and bushy shrub is easy to grow and has moderate growth, reducing the need for pruning to maintain a harmonious shape. Its small, shiny dark green leaves make it particularly interesting for creating low hedges or topiaries. It adapts to any well-drained soil and is suitable for all exposures.
Lonicera nitida belongs to the Caprifoliaceae family and is native to the Chinese provinces of Yunnan and Sichuan. It is very easy to grow and hardy. The Scoop boxleaf honeysuckle, has a dense and bushy ball-shaped habit and slower growth than the species, reducing the need for pruning. Its small, tough evergreen leaves are dark green and glossy. If not pruned, it develops slender and flexible branches, giving it a slightly tousled appearance - which is quite charming! The small cream-white flowers, without much appeal, appear in spring. The small purple fruits, toxic but loved by birds, are rarely observed in cultivation.
The Scoop boxleaf honeysuckle is primarily valued for its foliage and will be very useful as an interesting alternative to boxwood due to its faster growth and healthier leaves. It can be shaped into topiaries or planted in containers on a terrace. Plant Lonicera nitida Scoop in a well-drained, deep, and moist soil, even if it's alkaline, in partial shade or light sun. It tolerates severe pruning, which should be done just after winter or after flowering. It also withstands air pollution well and can tolerate moderate drought once established.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
