Lonicera nitida Pallet
Bulk buy Lonicera nitida Trough Pallet, commonly referred to as Shrubby Honeysuckle, and create an instant, low-maintenance hedge that brings structure and privacy to your garden. This small-leaved evergreen is known for its dense, compact foliage, making it a popular choice for low to medium-height hedges. Ideal for formal garden designs, Lonicera nitida can be kept at a height of around 60 cm, forming a neat, parterre-style hedge.
For taller hedges, up to 150 cm, it’s recommended to trim with a taper, ensuring light reaches the base to maintain a full, lush appearance.
As a suitable alternative to Common Box (Buxus sempervirens), Shrubby Honeysuckle is valued for its ability to form sharp-edged, formal hedges when trimmed regularly. It’s adaptable to most soil types and can tolerate light shade, making it a versatile addition to various garden settings. While it doesn’t produce the large, scented flowers associated with climbing honeysuckles, it does offer non-descript flowers and black berries if left untrimmed.
Lonicera nitida was introduced to the United Kingdom in 1908 by Ernest Wilson from Western China and has since become a reliable and easy-to-grow option for gardeners. This trough pallet of 9 units is perfect for larger projects, providing an efficient and cohesive hedging solution that enhances both traditional and contemporary landscapes.
*A Lonicera nitida Pallet includes all the fertiliser and irrigation needed for this amount of hedging.
