Lonicera nitida 'Garden Clouds Trio' ? A Fresh Twist on a Classic Garden Hedging Staple. The Lonicera nitida 'Garden Clouds' series brings a modern update to a beloved garden classic, offering a disease-resistant, low-maintenance alternative to traditional box hedges and topiary. Perfect for creating year-round structure and colour, the Garden Clouds Trio includes three distinct varieties of evergreen foliage that are naturally shaped for easy topiary and low hedging. Unlike standard Lonicera nitida, the Garden Clouds series naturally forms compact, rounded shapes, making it ideal for clipping into architectural forms like globes and cones. These hardy, bushy shrubs thrive in both sun and shade and adapt to all soil types, as long as they are well-drained. Best of all, they are disease-free and will tolerate regular trimming to maintain their size and shape. Lonicera nitida 'Garden Clouds Trio' includes three vibrant varieties: 'Garden Clouds Green Breeze' ? Bright green foliage, 'Garden Clouds Copper Glow' ? Rich green foliage with striking copper-coloured new shoots 'Garden Clouds Purple Storm' ? Dark green foliage with dark purple new shoots. Perfect for creating formal or informal hedges, these versatile shrubs grow to a height of 90cm (3ft) in 3 years with a spread of 60cm (2ft). Regular clipping will help maintain their compact size, making them an excellent choice for topiary and decorative hedging in gardens of all sizes.
