Glowing in the garden, Lonicera nitida ‘Baggesen’s Gold’ (Box Honeysuckle) is a dense, spreading, evergreen shrub with long, arching stems clothed in small, ovate, golden-yellow leaves that turn chartreuse in the fall. Tiny cream flowers appear in spring, which are eventually followed in fall by purple berries. Fast-growing, this Box Honeysuckle is quite versatile. It may be used as a groundcover, as a shrub in mixed borders, topiaries or as a beautiful hedge. A pretty substitute for boxwood and a great addition to the winter garden.
