Lonicera reticulata Kintzley's Ghost

4.5

Best low-maintenance climber for gardeners seeking pollinator-friendly, deer-resistant seasonal interest.

This heirloom vine is the ultimate low-effort showstopper, trading traditional floral density for architectural, silver-toned bracts that last all summer. It is a rare, deer-resistant win for pollinators, though you will need to provide a sturdy trellis to support its twelve-foot reach.
