KINTZLEY'S GHOST® honeysuckle is a vigorous, silver vine. It's clothed with long lasting, circular bracts the size and color of silver dollars, subtending tubular yellow flowers in June. Propagated by William "Ped" Kintzley at the Iowa State University (then college) greenhouses in the 1880s and passed on to family members. Perennial woody vine attractive to hummingbirds and pollinators like honey bees and bumble bees. Read the story of this vine here.

Tips from the pros: In the spring, trim off any dead twigs and branches, and prune for shape. Work into trellis structure for good foundation. Very low maintenance.
