Honeysuckle / Lonicera

Lonicera includes twining honeysuckles grown for scented flowers as well as shrubby forms used for structure, hedging and ground cover.

Honeysuckles bring flowers, fragrance and vertical cover to fences, arches and pergolas, while some shrub forms provide dense evergreen or semi-evergreen structure. Climbing types are especially valuable near seating areas where evening scent can be enjoyed. Ireland’s mild, moist climate suits many Lonicera, though climbing honeysuckles flower best with good light on their upper growth and moisture at the roots. Strong supports help vigorous varieties cope with wind.

Why It Works in Irish Gardens

Ireland’s mild, moist climate suits many Lonicera, though climbing honeysuckles flower best with good light on their upper growth and moisture at the roots. Strong supports help vigorous varieties cope with wind.

Choosing the Right Plants

Check whether the plant is a climbing honeysuckle or a shrubby Lonicera, as their garden uses are very different. Climbers vary considerably in vigour, scent and flowering season.

Planting and Care

Provide a suitable support and prune according to flowering time and vigour. Water young climbers in dry periods and avoid allowing the base to become completely parched.
