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.

I like the colour of the flowers very much, so the 'no real scent'
thing doesn't bother me much. We have several shrubby honeysuckles
which have no scent but what are a real garden adornment, imo.
