My daughter has this growing in her garden and its just smothered in flowers. It's not one I knew, which seems a glaring omission! But it's very lovely. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

No read scent but very vigorous grower.. |

No read scent but very vigorous grower.. Certainly would, David! Thank you. We noticed it had only the faintest scent but it's so pretty and as you say, so vigorous that I think it can be forgiven. Very kind of you! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

Think Clematis montana in terms of height and spread (although it's not so fast growing). You must have poor stock then, I've had over 20ft of growth in one season (one stem) and I have one that's about 25 to 30 ft up into an Oak tree. It's one plant I don't like to turn my back on for long |

Dug it out of several gardens to be replaced by 'proper' honeysuckle. -- Janet T. Amersham |

David @ a sweltering and breezy side of Swansea Bay 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. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
