Lonicera japonica Dart's World is a form of the Japanese honeysuckle which produces an abundance of highly scented flowers from spring to early autumn. They start from rich pink buds which open blush-pink and have a cream throat. Semi-evergreen foliage of dark green often turns reddy-bronze in autumn and winter.
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.
