The message k
from Sacha contains these words:

L. hildebrandiana is a climbing honey suckle but much larger flowers and
frost tender. We want to grow it in one of the glasshouses, take some
cuttings and experiment with it outside. It's very vigorous given enough
warmth, apparently and can reach great heights - literally! I think it's
nickname is the giant Burmese honeysuckle. I can't think of which shrubby
one you mean. In the garden, we have L. involucrata, which I love and a
deep pinky red one that nobody seems to be able to identify but that's not
the right colour for ours.

I mean the one which is used as a hedge.

Nemmind. ICBA to google to see, as I was sure you'd know which one you
meant...

Lonicera nitida (more upright) or Lonicera pileata (more horizontal), I
believe.

Both have white/cream flowers, though and I think Rusty mentioned
mauve/purply ones. L. pileata roots easily from bent over tips and has
purple berries, so perhaps it's that one? They're both hedging Lonicera.
We have L. nitida Baggesens Gold growing as a pillar on a nursery path and
it looks wonderful. I'd be tempted to use it to frame or edge some garden
feature and let it grow to the 6' or more it's gone to here.
