Lonicera Pileata - Evergreen Honeysuckle Groundcover
Lonicera pileata, also known as the honeyberry or evergreen honeysuckle, is a low-maintenance, evergreen plant that quickly forms a dense mat. With its glossy leaves, it remains attractive year-round. Ideal for covering bare spots, slopes, or as a low hedge. This hardy plant thrives in both sun and shade and requires minimal care. It also attracts butterflies and bees, making it a great choice for a biodiverse garden. Perfect for those looking for a beautiful, green space with little effort.
Plant Specifications
This bulk pack includes 48 individual Lonicera pileata plants, each measuring 10-25cm in height and supplied in 9cm diameter growing pots. The quantity makes this an economical choice for larger landscaping projects, hedge planting, or extensive groundcover areas.
Key Features
The evergreen nature of Lonicera pileata ensures your garden maintains visual interest throughout all seasons. The glossy, dark green foliage creates a dense carpet effect when planted in groups, making it highly effective for erosion control on slopes and banks. This species adapts remarkably well to various light conditions, performing equally in full sun and partial to full shade.
As a hardy groundcover, this plant requires minimal intervention once established. Its spreading habit naturally suppresses weeds while creating a uniform green layer. The plant's ability to attract pollinators like butterflies and bees adds ecological value to your garden ecosystem.
Planting Applications
These 48 plants provide sufficient coverage for creating low hedges along pathways or property borders, typically reaching 30-60cm when mature. The groundcover capability makes them suitable for filling gaps between larger shrubs, covering difficult-to-mow areas, or stabilizing soil on inclines. Space plants 30-40cm apart for hedge formation or closer for faster groundcover establishment.
Care Requirements
Lonicera pileata demonstrates excellent drought tolerance once established, though regular watering during the first growing season promotes strong root development. The plant tolerates most soil types, including clay and sandy soils, provided drainage is adequate. Pruning is optional and typically only needed to maintain desired shape or height.
