Information
Semi-Evergreen Honeysuckle. Glossy slender green foliage is a wonderful background to the clusters of red & yellow tubular scented flowers in summer. For best results choose a good sunny position against a wall, fence or archway. Black fruits are often produced in late summer/autumn. A wonderfully versatile plant that can be used in either a formal garden or growing through a hedge.
Cultivation Advice.
Deciduous, sometimes evergreen, climbing honeysuckles (Lonicera) have thin, flexible stems that twine around their supports. Grow them up walls and fences, or over a pergola to scent the air near a seating area. Although they will flower better in a sunny place, a lightly shaded position will encourage a healthier, greener plant. Climbing honeysuckles will thrive on almost any soil type. Very wet or excessively dry soils are unsuitable. Strong sunlight can scorch the growth.
