Re: Lonicera Japonica
Yoel -- If this is the Lonicera I am familiar with (and I think it
is), it is a bullet-proof plant in southern california. Sunset
Western Gardens (which is the plant bible in these parts) describes
it as a "rampant grower." The evergreen vine has purple-tinged white
and sweet smelling flowers. It is used for erosion control, covering
fences, and basically hinding anything that needs to be hidden.
Takes dryness pretty well when established and tolerates poor
drainage. You should be able to find additional information by doing
an internet search as well.
Hope this helps
