Superb New Honysuckle

Lonicera periclymenum 'Fragrant Cloud'

Lonicera periclymenum 'Fragrant Cloud' is a stunning new introduction which is well worth owning.

It is a strong, very fragrant honeysuckle with purple and white flowers and light green foliage.

The new leaves have a wonderful blue/green colour, and the scent has been described as "heady and delicious" by an independent laboratory.

This plant survived the severe winter of 2012/2013 and reached a height of 2m in two years.

It will flourish in full sun or partial shade.  It peak flowering period is July to August, but it will produce a decent display of berries once the flowers have faded.

It is available from Thorncroft Clematis.
