Lonicera periclymenum Scentsation
A wonderful addition to cottage gardens!
The Lonicera periclymenum Scentsation is a delightful deciduous Woodbine bears with showy, pale yellow and ivory blooms from midsummer to September. Fill your garden with a powerful sweet perfume. Eye-catching scarlet berries take centre stage as the scented flowers fade, providing plenty of late summer interest, and food for wild birds. Let it climb walls and fences, or train it over pergolas and doorways where its fragrance can be really appreciated. Height: 7m (22′). Spread: 1m (3′).
Plant honeysuckle against a suitable, sturdy support such as trellis or strong wires attached to walls and pergolas, in fertile, moist, free draining soil. Poor soils can be improved by adding plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost. Choose a position in sun or semi-shade. When growing honeysuckle in patio containers, use soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3.
