The Peaches and Cream Honeysuckle is a lovely vining plant that gives off a tropical vibe but is hardy even in climates with chilly winters. Honeysuckle, or Lonicaera periclymenum plants, have gorgeous two-lipped tubular flowers with prominent stamens that grow in clusters. The Peaches and Cream Honeysuckle have fragrant blooms in pinkish-white shades. This beauty blooms from May through July. The ovate-shaped foliage grows on long vines that feature pairs of leaves appearing on opposite sides of the stems.
This plant is a natural climber with a twining vine form which means the vine will wrap itself around a structure as it grows to securely hold onto a trellis, arbor, or anything within reach. Feature this Honeysuckle in a bed, mass planting, or border but provide support so the vines can climb. The fragrant flowers are a favorite food source for butterflies and hummingbirds. This deciduous plant grows as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 8, and it is drought-resistant, cold-resistant, and tolerates poor soil, making it a very easy plant to maintain.
Peaches and Cream Honeysuckle Care
Peaches and Cream Honeysuckle can handle less than ideal conditions, but this plant is a vigorous grower when given proper care. Dappled sunlight is best, but this plant can live in full sun to partial shade. For best results, the roots will have shade, and the vines will have more direct light. Newly planted Honeysuckle requires consistent water. Apply mulch around the base of the plant to keep the soil damp. Established plants are drought-tolerant but will benefit from being watered during an extended dry period. Soil should be rich and moist but well-drained.
Apply a low-nitrogen fertilizer in the spring to support intense flower production. Remove dead and damaged branches throughout the growing season, but save pruning and shaping until after the bloom cycle is complete. Cutting the plant back by one-third will encourage more growth and more blooms the following spring.
Peaches and Cream Honeysuckle Spacing
The Peaches and Cream Honeysuckle is a vining shrub that will grow 5 to 6 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. Plants can be spaced 3 to 5 feet apart to create a wall of flowers and greenery. Give the plants a trellis or support or plant near a structure the vines can climb.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
