One of the
earliest flowering
perennials in the
Northeast, ‘Winter
Beauty’ has small
white fragrant
flowers with a
blush of pink that
appear in late winter
or early spring.
They are a welcome
sight and carry a
sweet fragrance
that delights the
gardener after a long
winter. Honeysuckle
‘Winter Beauty’ blooms about the same time as
Witch Hazel and is one of the first flowering plants
for pollinators such as honeybees. It also makes a
great hedge. Although a deciduous perennial shrub
in northern zones, in warmer zones it remains evergreen
especially when grown in full sun.
