Lonicera Serotina is a vigorous twining climber plant famous for its clusters of deep red-purple flowers delivering the perfect fragrance desired in a cottage garden. Also known as ‘Dutch Honeysuckle’, this large deciduous shrub needs plenty of room for its roots to expand. In return, it creates a sensational appearance over a wall or fence.

For a wonderful cottage garden plant, Serotina is a perfect choice to energize a shady north wall. Once established it gains some drought tolerance. Pruning a Honeysuckle Serotina is easy, simply cut a third of its flowering shoots.

Its tubular shaped flowers are streaks of pale white while the upper ones stay pink-toned red giving eyes a double-tone spectacle. This honeysuckle blooms finest flowers that proudly host prominent white anthers on top as an ornament.
