Lonicera nitida 'Garden Clouds Purple Storm'

The Lonicera Garden Clouds series has revitalized this classic garden hedging plant, offering a robust, disease-resistant alternative to traditional box hedges and topiary. Lonicera Garden Clouds Purple Storm stands out with its rich dark green foliage and striking dark purple new growth. Unlike typical Lonicera nitidia, this variety naturally forms attractive, rounded shapes, making it ideal for both topiary and low hedging. These evergreen, bushy shrubs are free from common diseases, thrive in both sun and shade, and adapt to any well-drained soil. They are well-suited to regular pruning, easily maintaining sculpted forms like globes and cones. Growth after 3 years: 90cm (3ft) tall and 60cm (2ft) wide. Regular trimming will help keep the plants compact.
