Lonicera pileata 'Purple Pearl' - Evergreen Ground Cover Shrub
Lonicera pileata 'Purple Pearl' is an attractive, evergreen shrub that adds year-round color to your garden. With its compact growth habit and striking purple-red foliage, this plant is perfect for use as ground cover, in borders, or in containers. It grows densely, creating a neat and tidy appearance, making it ideal for smaller gardens or as a decorative edge.
Key Features
This hardy honeysuckle variety offers exceptional versatility in the landscape. The purple-red foliage provides distinctive color throughout the year, with the most intense hues developing during cooler months. The compact, spreading growth habit creates a dense mat of foliage that naturally suppresses weeds and provides excellent ground coverage.
Each plant measures 10-25cm in height and comes in a 9cm recyclable growing pot. This 40-pack bulk quantity is ideal for covering larger areas, creating borders, or establishing mass plantings. Plant spacing of 45-50cm apart achieves optimal coverage (approximately 4-5 plants per square meter).
Growing Conditions
Lonicera pileata 'Purple Pearl' thrives in both full sun and partial shade, making it adaptable to various garden locations. This low-maintenance shrub tolerates a wide range of well-drained soil conditions and requires minimal care once established. Its evergreen nature ensures your garden maintains visual interest even during winter months.
The horizontal branching structure creates a spreading, ground-hugging form perfect for erosion control on slopes and banks. Small, fragrant white flowers appear in late spring, followed by translucent purple berries that attract birds and wildlife in autumn.

- Ground cover for large areas
