Description
The Lonicera nitida 'Hohenheimer Findling' is distinguished by its exceptional vigor and low, spreading habit, making it particularly useful for low hedges and ground cover plantings. It is a bush less than one meter tall with beautifully arching branches adorned with glossy green foliage, decorative in all seasons. Its resistance to pruning and shady exposures, as well as its rapid growth, make it an interesting alternative to boxwood. Hardy, robust, and not demanding as long as it is planted in well-drained soil, use it to vegetate difficult spaces such as slopes and large, slightly dry, shaded areas!
The Lonicera nitida 'Hohenheimer Findling' is a hybrid of bush honeysuckle also known as boxleaf honeysuckle, belonging to the caprifoliaceae family. Its parent, L. nitida, is a robust evergreen shrub native to the Chinese provinces of Yunnan and Sichuan.
The variety 'Hohenheimer Findling' is very easy to grow and quite hardy. It reaches an average height of 1 meter (3 feet 4 inches) with a width of 1.5 meters (4 feet 11 inches). Its growth is rapid, but it generally requires only one pruning per year depending on its growing conditions. The 'Hohenheimer Findling' bush honeysuckle has a low, spreading habit, almost creeping, carried by vigorously arching branches. Its small, tough, glossy evergreen leaves remain shiny green throughout the year. If left unpruned, it develops small, cream-white flowers that are quite discreet but pleasantly fragrant in spring. The small, purple, toxic fruits, which are rarely observed in cultivation, only develop if the plant is not pruned.
Plant Lonicera nitida 'Hohenheimer Findling' in any well-drained soil that is not too dry, even limestone. It prefers partial shade or dappled sunlight. As a foliage plant primarily, boxleaf honeysuckle can tolerate severe pruning, which should be done just after winter or after flowering. Allow 50 to 70 cm (19.7 to 27.6 in) of distance between plants for hedge plantings. This shrub is resistant to air pollution and also tolerates moderate drought once established. It can be used to create low hedges, large borders, ground cover for steep slopes, or beautiful plant sculptures, pruned into balls or pyramid shapes, both in the ground and in pots. This boxleaf honeysuckle can also be left to grow freely in woodland areas. You can also train it against a trellis.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
