Lonicera sempervirens ‘Leo’

(USA, before 1998)
Leaves smooth, dark green above, paler below. The flowers are the typical color for the species. It was selected for its long bloom season, longer than any other cultivar of Lonicera sempervirens. In most parts of the United States L. sempervirens flowered less abundantly during the hot of the summer. In colder climates as in the Netherlands they flower abundantly during the whole flowering period.
