Lonicera japonica Princess Kate is popular for her variegated foliage on new growth, which will revert to green once it is mature. Lonicera Princess Kate also has beautifully slender, creamy white scented flowers, making it a wonderful addition to your garden particularly somewhere you can enjoy that fragrance.
Why not combine her with another climber like Clematis PRINCESS KATE or even Clematis PRINCE WILLIAM. She also looks fabulous with a white like Clematis Prince George
Cultivation Advice.
Deciduous, sometimes evergreen, climbing honeysuckles (Lonicera) have thin, flexible stems that twine around their supports. Grow them up walls and fences, or over a pergola to scent the air near a seating area. Although they will flower better in a sunny place, a lightly shaded position will encourage a healthier, greener plant. Climbing honeysuckles will thrive on almost any soil type. Very wet or excessively dry soils are unsuitable. Strong sunlight can scorch the growth.
