Madhu malti
Madhu Malti (often referred to as Honeysuckle or Lonicera) is a popular flowering vine in India, known for its attractive, fragrant blooms. This climbing plant thrives in a range of Indian climates, from subtropical to tropical regions. It features tubular flowers in colors such as white, yellow, pink, and red, which emit a sweet, pleasant fragrance that attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies. The plant prefers well-draining soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It can grow vigorously, reaching heights of up to 15 feet, making it ideal for covering trellises, fences, and arbors. Regular watering is important, but the soil should be allowed to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Madhu Malti’s rapid growth and beautiful, aromatic flowers make it a popular choice for enhancing gardens and green spaces in India.
