A seedling accidentally found while collecting cuttings of BLUE VELVET® at the Cheyenne Station. Blooms with very profuse medium pink flowers in the spring. Green to blue-green foliage. An added bonus to this honeysuckle is that it is resistant to the witches’ broom aphid. This excellent plant was originally referred to as ‘Brand X’ but is far superior to the normal generic brands.
