Kintzley's Ghost® Honeysuckle (Lonicera reticulata Kintzley's Ghost) - QT

Find out about the honeysuckle that you can grow with a clear conscience! Kintzley's Ghost® is a beautiful native honeysuckle that won't take over your garden like some other types do. This Proven Winners plant is a showstopper that changes a lot with the seasons, starting with its beautiful dusty blue-green leaves. As summer comes, round bracts that look like eucalyptus leaves appear like saucers around fragrant flowers that hummingbirds love! During the long blooming season, you can see bees and butterflies come and go. In the fall, beautiful red berries appear. They feed birds without getting in the way. This climbing beauty can grow to be 6 to 12 feet tall and looks great on trellises, arbors, or fences. Once it's established, it can handle drought and deer, so it's very low-maintenance for such a dramatic plant. It can live in zones 4–9. The famous Plant Select program in Colorado came up with Kintzley's Ghost®, which has wild beauty and well-behaved behavior. Plant this native treasure and enjoy the magic of hummingbirds without feeling bad!
