This is a twin to the Plant Select® selection of the Blue Velvet® Honeysuckle. Our grower noticed it in their trial beds as being slightly different—it had even more pink flowers than the Blue Velvet! This is an outstanding shrub for a windbreak or screen. Pubescent light blue foliage in spring matures to gray green. We’ve trialed the Blue Velvet for over 10 years and have seen no insect, disease, or wildlife issues. Expect the same from Cheyenne Pink Velvet Honeysuckle. Watch a video of Blue Velvet Honeysuckle on our Videos page.
Throughout this site, the following are used as guidelines for watering established plants:
These truly xeric plants can live with our 12 inches of natural annual precipitation and only need a winter watering during a multi-year drought, but they will thrive with a monthly watering. Overwatering will kill some of these. These plants are adapted to intermittent deep
watering with soil drying to a depth of a few inches between waterings. Watering frequency may be every couple of weeks during the active growing season and maybe only one winter watering for optimal care. These plants need regular watering somewhat like a bluegrass lawn so that
they never dry to depth in the root system during the active growing season, and need occasional winter watering to prevent root dessication and resultant plant
death. About sizes of our plants:
Sizes indicated with a # are roughly the equivalent in gallonage; so a #2 is about a 2 gallon pot size; b&b stands for balled and burlapped.
