Description

Lonicera sempervirens 'Blanche Sandman' is a semi-evergreen climber with blue-green leaves. Its lightly scented red flowers with yellow throats fade to rose-pink. A woody vine, this perennial needs strong support. It blooms on old wood so prune it just after flowering, if desired.

Lonicera sempervirens is native primarily to the Coastal Plains of the Southeastern United States from Texas to Florida into the mid-Atlantic, but may also be found as far northward as Maine, Michigan and Iowa.

Also called Honeysuckle, Lonicera sempervirens prefers sun to light shade and moist, well-drained soil, but is drought tolerant once established. Like most Honeysuckle, Lonicera 'Blanche Sandman' is attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators. It berries may be eaten by birds.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
