Fantastically fragrant, tubular, red-purple flushed white flowers appear from April to August, fading to yellow. In hot summers the flowers are followed by purple-black berries. This long-flowering Japanese honeysuckle is vigorous and easy to grow. The pretty, purple-tinted foliage provides all-round cover for a pergola, arch or boundary wall.
Cut back established plants after flowering, removing a third of the flowering shoots. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant in early spring.
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
