Minorca honeysuckle
Lonicera implexa
Minorca honeysuckle is a tough, semi-evergreen Mediterranean vine that thrives in full sun to partial shade and is well-suited to warm, dry garden settings. Water regularly when establishing but it becomes quite resilient once settled, tolerating periods of reduced moisture. Train it along a trellis or fence to showcase its fragrant tubular flowers, which attract pollinators and birds.
