Ercilla volubilis


Thanks for the suggestion. Both Ercilla volubilis and the Holboelia are
non-existent at my local garden centres. The attandant at my local one
suggested Honeysuckle (of which they have a selection). Would that do the
job?

Ordinary Lonicera periclymenum and all its garden forms are good near the
coast but they are not evergreen, the evergreen sorts are OK provided
they don't get dry roots or suffer from too much still air (they can go
down with mildew) There are a number, these are the most often come
across
Lonicera henryi
Lonicera similis delavayi

and the commonest
Lonicera japonica which has a number of forms but is the worst for mildew
