An interesting though rarely encountered evergreen climber with velvety-hairy leaves. Flowers small, yellowish, from June to October, mainly on new growth, followed by purplish-black berries with a light waxy bloom. A vigorous species forming a dense tangle of twining stems up to 3-6m long (1-2m of annual growth). It doesn't have any special soil requirements. Well suited for scrambling over arbors, pergolas and other supports. Wrong name of this species is Lonicera giraldii.
