Description
An Elegant Evergreen with a Striking Copper GlowThe Lonicera henryi 'Copper Beauty' is a graceful and highly decorative climber, prized for its unique foliage and year-round presence. True to the delicate spirit of 'Minuet', it brings movement and texture to the garden. This variety is particularly special for its young leaves, which emerge in a beautiful shade of bronze-copper before maturing into a deep, glossy dark green, creating a rich multi-toned effect throughout the seasons.A vigorous and reliable performer, 'Copper Beauty' is a true evergreen, providing a permanent and lush screen for walls and fences even in the depths of winter. From midsummer onwards, it produces masses of charming tubular flowers in a vibrant shade of yellow and copper-orange. These blooms flutter in the breeze and release a sweet, delicate fragrance that adds a sensory layer to your outdoor space. Its strong twining habit makes it exceptionally suitable for scaling large structures or providing an effective evergreen backdrop for other flowering plants.Key Features• Stunning Copper Foliage: new growth emerges in a rich copper tone, providing seasonal contrast• True Evergreen Habit: retains its glossy leaves all year round for maximum privacy and screening• Fragrant Summer Blooms: features delicate copper-yellow flowers with a sweet, subtle scent• Vigorous & Hardy: a strong climber that quickly covers large areas and withstands cold winters• Year-Round Interest: offers beauty through its changing leaf colours and permanent structurePerfect For• Creating a year-round privacy screen on fences, walls, and garden boundaries• Training over large pergolas and arches for a permanent leafy canopy• Cottage gardens and contemporary schemes looking for architectural evergreen interest• Wildlife gardens, providing essential shelter for birds and nectar for pollinatorsAt The Rose Press Garden, we love 'Copper Beauty' for its sophisticated palette. Most honeysuckles lose their leaves in winter, but this variety stays lush and green. From a distance, the copper-tinted tips give the plant a warm, glowing appearance, but up close, the contrast against the dark mature leaves is simply exquisite, making it a joy to examine in every season.
