Notes
'Scentsation' common honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum 'Scentsation') 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. The fragrant flowers appear in spring, summer, and autumn and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. Deer tend to pass it by. It climbs quickly, so give it a sturdy support.
Pairs well with Jackmanii clematis, Garden phlox, and Little bluestem.
