Lonicera periclymenum Fragrant Cloud - European honeysuckle

The <a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/climbers/climbers-by-variety/honeysuckle.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Honeysuckle</strong></a> (<em>Lonicera</em>) is well known to gardeners in its climbing form. A large woody and voluble liana, it boasts a <strong>unique fragrance</strong> during its flowering. This <strong>climbing plant</strong> is easy to cultivate, grows quickly, and offers real interest in winter, spring, or summer depending on the chosen variety or species. There are so many Honeysuckles that at least two or three are suitable for every situation, soil, and climate. When climbing, the Honeysuckle sends out stems that can reach 2 to 10 m in length within a few months, allowing it to cover a trellis or fence. It features deciduous or evergreen foliage depending on the varieties and offers beautiful flowers in white, yellow, orange, pink, or red. These are generally very fragrant, especially in the late afternoon. <a href="https://www.promessedefleurs.com/blogwp/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Chèvrefeuille.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-9462" src="https://www.promessedefleurs.com/blogwp/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Chèvrefeuille.jpg" alt="Honeysuckle - Lonicera" width="1172" height="600" /></a> The Honeysuckle, while not one of those exceptional subjects to acquire at all costs, finds its place in every garden. It quickly becomes an obvious choice, thriving in partial shade or even in the shade, which it sometimes tolerates very well. Its success depends solely on careful planting, as this plant proves to be very tolerant of soil type. Very accommodating, it thrives equally well in a large pot or in the ground. It requires little maintenance, apart from annual pruning when it threatens to escape the space allocated to it.
