A Refreshing Evergreen Climber with Stunning Variegated Foliage

Lonicera japonica 'Mint Crisp' is a standout variety of honeysuckle that brings year-round brightness to your garden borders. Unlike traditional climbers, this variety is prized for its spectacular mottled foliage, featuring green leaves splashed with creamy-white that give it a "minty-fresh" look. As an evergreen climber, it provides a thick, decorative screen that maintains its beauty throughout the winter, often taking on a lovely pink flush in colder weather, ensuring your garden stays vibrant even during the darkest months.

During the summer, 'Mint Crisp' produces an abundance of small, star-shaped white flowers that gradually transition into a rich lemon-yellow as they mature. These blooms carry an incredible, sweet fragrance that is especially noticeable on warm summer evenings. Its vigorous twining habit makes it perfect for quickly covering fences, trellises, or garden arches. It is a hardy and reliable plant that offers the perfect combination of unique leaf interest and heavenly summer scent.

Key features:

  • Stunning mottled green and white variegated foliage

  • Leaves take on a beautiful pink tint during the winter months

  • Highly fragrant flowers that turn from white to lemon-yellow

  • Vigorous evergreen habit for year-round screening and privacy

  • Long flowering season through the summer and into autumn

Perfect for:
