Lonicera
x heckrottii
Shrubby bushy
climber, the scented red and yellow flowers appear July to
September. Its difficult to get very enthusiastic about this - it
suffers from aphids and mildew and the scent is not as strong as
other Honeysuckles, but when in full flower (which it does over a
long season) its a bright show and a lot smaller to find space
for than some!
Introduced prior to 1895 its a cross between L. sempervirens and
L. x americana the selected form Lonicera x heckrottii 'Gold
Flame' is not that different.
