Lonicera reticulata ‘P015S’

Choose Kintzley’s Ghost® Honeysuckle if you want a fragrant native vine with unusual silver bracts, not just another green climber. The tradeoff: it needs training and a real support, and it is not the densest screening vine.

Buy This If

  • You want fragrance near seating.
  • You like unusual foliage.
  • You have a sturdy support.

Skip This If

  • You need dense privacy.
  • You dislike training vines.
  • You need a formal look.

PGNE Report Card

Category Grade Why
Landscape Impact A- The silver bracts give it a different look than most flowering vines without relying only on bloom time.
Growth Rate B It covers a support at a useful pace once established without acting like a rampant smothering vine.
Maintenance B- It is manageable, but it still needs tying, guiding, and occasional pruning to stay where you want it.
Deer Resistance C+ It has some resistance value, but we would not make it the main answer where deer browse heavily.
Small Space Fit C+ It can work in a smaller garden only if you give it vertical structure and keep it trained.
Screening Value B- It gives seasonal vertical coverage, but it is better for soft screening than blocking a view.

Our Experience

At PGNE, we’d typically recommend this for a visible arbor, trellis, or fence panel where the foliage can be noticed up close, not hidden in a back corner.

Customers Usually Ask

Does it need a trellis?

Yes, the flowers are useful for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

Why Add Vines to Your Landscape?

  • Vertical Landscape Impact: Climbing growth adds height, structure, and visual drama to walls, fences, and arbors.
