Lonicera nitida plant named ‘Briliame’

Abstract

A new and distinct Lonicera nitida cultivar is provided that is a mutation of the ‘Briloni’ cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,234). Distinctive yellow-green new foliage is formed that bears less yellow coloration than the ‘Briloni’ cultivar. A somewhat creeping growth habit is displayed. The foliage of the plant well resists burning when exposed to full sun. The unusual yellow-green foliage coloration combined with the other characteristics provides the horticultural industry with an distinctive ornamental plant for growing in pots or in the landscape.
