More Information

Description Add a showstopping display of unusual foliage that begs to be looked at with Kintzley's Ghost® honeysuckle vine (Lonicera reticulata). This beautiful, unique vine grows just about everywhere, is not invasive, and looks stunning all season long. It's covered with yellow trumpet flowers in late spring and early summer, but it's the foliage that sets it apart from the rest: it emerges as unusual flying saucer-like discs around the stem with a silvery-blue tint. This deer-resistant vine is very tolerant of hot, dry conditions and difficult soils; make sure it gets good sturdy support for it to thrive. Kintzley's Ghost honeysuckle isn't just a fantastic looking vine - it's also got a good story. William Kintzley developed it at Iowa State University in the 1880s. Some people claim that it was found growing on his grave, while others say that his extended family members kept parts of it as they moved around. It was eventually reintroduced to the public by Colorado Plant Select in the early 2000s. While the flowers may not be fragrant, they attract pollinators nonetheless. Details Botanical name: Lonicera reticulata 'P015S'
Common name: Kintzley's Ghost honeysuckle, Honeysuckle vine
Zone: 4-8
Sun exposure: Full Sun (6+ hours sun) to part sun (4-6 hours sun)
Height x width: 8-12' tall x 3-5' wide
Flower color: Yellow
Foliage color: Blue
Bloom time: Early Summer
Features: Rare & unusual, heat tolerant, drought tolerant, cold tolerant
Uses: Container gardening, cottage gardening, pollinator gardens, trellises, vines and climbers
How To Grow Soil: Any average to dry soil is suitable.
Light: Full sun (6+ hrs/day) is best for good flowering
Water: Once established, the plants need only moderate watering unless the summer is very dry. Does best in average to evenly moist conditions but will not tolerate standing water.
Spacing: 3 - 4 ft or as needed on trellises, posts, pergolas, etc.
Fertilizing: None necessary. If desired, apply a granular rose fertilizer in early spring.
Winterizing: Consider applying mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder zones.
Maintenance & Pruning: Little is needed - covers structures but is not overly rambunctious. To shape the vine, cut back overly long stems so they are in keeping with the desired shape, and cut out any weak, spindly growth. Blooms on old wood, so prune after bloom if desired to preserve the floral display.

Hardy and Fierce

I bought one of these last summer. It was healthy upon arrival and was a fighter - remaining robust until the Fall frost shut it down. This plant seems to be a fairly slow grower - but I can work with that.
I'm looking forward to purchasing several more in the Spring to help complete the vision I have for my front yard. Thank you!

Kintzley's Ghost® Honeysuckle Vine

When we received this vine and it did not look healthy in the packaging (we have pictures we can send you). We dutifully followed the instructions on acclimatizing and eventually planting. The plant struggled, it looked like it would make a comeback but it did not make it. Disappointed.

It was and still is too hot here in kansas to plant the vines in the ground. I did put them in bigger pots and they are healthy and growing.
