BTW have tried for several years to grow Lonicera fragrantissima and L.
purpusii. The bushes grow to 4ft x 4ft, but have a pathetic number of
flowers, and I'll probably give up and throw them away.

Try the other one, L. standishii.

I have a couple of large bushes that I *think* are L. standishii,
though I'm none too certain, and they are reliable performers. It
is a joy when they come into flower at this time of year.

YMMV, given soil/climate differences, of course.
