This non-invasive honeysuckle is covered with strongly scented creamy-white and yellow flowers from mid-spring to late summer. The flowers produce attractive bright red berries in the fall.
Scentsation' Lonicera periclymenum blooms on new wood. This climbing plant performs best when planted near a sturdy trellis, pergola, tree, wall or fence that it can happily climb.

?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
