Good plant #105 - Lonicera Periclymenum 'Graham Thomas'


This is a heavily scented deciduous honeysuckle that has a long flowering season. The flowers start off white-ish but then turn more yellowy.

Honeysuckles grow best in part shaded sites and moist well-drained soils with a robust framework to twine and climb up. Once flowering is over, this honeysuckle benefits from pruning back to strong new-ish growth.

You can take cuttings in late summer.
