Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum)

Our native Lonicera is a welcome and colourful addition to any native or country hedge, where it can scramble through other shrubs and trees. It needs at least semi-shade to get going. Its exotic flowers perfume midsummer evenings. Honeysuckle berries are poisonous, but the flowers are edible and I've seen a number of recipes using them, from tea to jelly.

Lonicera periclymenum is widely distributed across the UK and grows on a wide range of well drained soils.

I'm still trying to find a hazel walking stick up which it has spiralled - clockwise, as opposed to bindweed.

We're currently supplying honeysuckle in 9cm or 2 Litre pots - the smaller plants in multiples of 5.

Like all our native trees and shrubs, the honeysuckle plants we sell are not only British grown, but also grown from UK origin seed.

Have a look at our videos on what to do when your plants arrive and how to plant a bare root tree. Please ask about larger trees; we can often supply them but will need to quote on an individual basis as carriage varies so much.
