Lonicera hildebrandiana, the giant Burmese honeysuckle, is a very large evergreen climbing shrub from southeast Asia, the largest of all honeysuckles. It needs frost protection in cold areas and strong support because it is not self-supporting.
Lonicera hildebrandiana, the giant Burmese honeysuckle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Caprifoliaceae. It is native to southeast Asia, in China (Guanxi and Yunnan), Thailand and Burma at elevations of 1,000 to 2,300 m (3,300 to 7,500 ft).
This plant does not tolerate frost, so when cultivated in cold temperate areas it must be grown under glass, either in a large conservatory or greenhouse. When grown in warmer temperate zones, it may be planted in a sheltered bay out of direct winter winds until it has grown to a height above the frost-line. A fully grown plant is relatively heavy, especially after rain, so requires strong support as it is not self-supporting. It has been given the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
