Notes
'Peaches and Cream' common honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum 'Peaches and Cream') is a vine for cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Fragrant flowers open in spring, summer, and autumn, and they attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. It climbs fast, so give it a sturdy support.
Pairs well with Garden phlox, Limelight hydrangea, and Little bluestem.
