Lonicera, the climbing honeysuckle, has intensely fragranced flowers on twining vines and is a classic cottage garden plant. Train honeysuckle plants up walls and trellises or pair with a clematis, or other climber, in a contrasting colour for a magnificent display. We also recommend planting them near windows and doors or outdoor seating areas to really make the most of the sweet fragrance. Our range of honeysuckle plants includes vigorous varieties that are quick to establish and grow as well as more compact forms that are suitable for smaller gardens. The fragranced flowers of Lonicera periclymen or japonica can be used to make sweet syrups, to add to drinks. Only use the petals, leave the stalk and the flower base behind to form berries for wildlife.
