Kintzley's Ghost

Lonicera reticulata 'P015S'

If you haven't had the pleasure of getting to know this plant, let us introduce you: it was originally discovered by William "Ped" Kintzley, a professor at Iowa State University and came to us from Plant Select. In spring, its foliage emerges looking like any other honeysuckle, but as it gets going and develops flower buds, unique blue-white, saucer-shaped bracts form around them, and tubular yellow flowers emerge from the center. They have a light scent and do attract pollinators, including hummingbirds, but it's the bracts that make everyone ask, what is that?! They look like a eucalyptus, and remain effective on the plant until it defoliates in autumn. Flowers fade to reveal glistening red berries in each bract, but not to worry - this North American native species is not invasive and won't make a nuisance of itself.
