Don't underestimate its vigour. Think Clematis montana in terms of
height and spread (although it's not so fast growing).



don't overestimate it's scent, there isn't any and the flowers can be
very 'insignificant ' compared to most lonicera. Dug it out of several
gardens to be replaced by 'proper' honeysuckle.


I did say it had no real scent.
Not one to plant if it's your only honeysuckle, but interesting if you
have plenty of space.
