Add a touch of classic cottage garden charm and an incredible fragrance to your outdoor space with this set of four Lonicera periclymenum 'Serotina'. Also known as Late Dutch Honeysuckle, this award-winning climber is famous for its stunning bicolor flowers and its intense, sweet perfume that becomes especially powerful during the evening.
Why choose Lonicera 'Serotina'?
-
Exotic Bicolor Blooms: Produces striking clusters of tubular flowers that are deep red-purple on the outside and creamy-yellow on the inside.
-
Incredible Evening Scent: One of the most fragrant honeysuckles available, perfect for planting near a patio, window, or seating area to enjoy its sweet scent.
-
Pollinator Friendly: The nectar-rich flowers are a favorite for bees, butterflies, and especially moths in the late evening.
-
Winter Interest: Following the flowers, the plant produces small red berries in the autumn which are a popular food source for garden birds.
Care Instructions:
-
Light: Thrives in full sun or partial shade. While the vines love the sun, it is best to keep the roots in a cool, shaded, and moist spot.
-
Support: This is a twining climber that needs a support structure like a trellis, fence, or pergola to grow upwards.
-
Watering: Requires regular watering, especially during dry spells. Ensure the soil remains moist but well-drained.
-
Pruning: Easy to maintain. Prune back after flowering to keep the plant within its space and to encourage bushy growth for the following year.
