The highlights
- Chiffon-white and butter-yellow blooms
- Quickly covers a boring fence or wall
- Position in partial shade or full sun
- Tubular flowers from June to September
Description
- Clusters of trumpet shaped flowers with ovate green leaves on twining stems
- Highly showy, two lipped tubular flowers (which give off a sweet and heady aroma) bloom freely from June to September. The flowers comprise a wider upper lip and narrower lower lip, with petals coloured both chiffon white and butter yellow. They emerge from attractive pink buds
- Easy to grow and care for, this honeysuckle adds instant atmosphere wherever it's planted
- A fast growing and vigorous climber, 'Heaven Scent' can be easily trained up a wall or against a fence, and will help transform dreary vertical surfaces
- The appearance of bright red berries in the autumn months ensures visual interest even after flowering
- Designated by the RHS as one of its Plants for Pollinators, meaning 'Heaven Scent' is highly beneficial to animals like bees and butterflies
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out

How to grow
How to grow
Excellent pest and disease resistance
If honeysuckle aphids appear, wipe them off and spray the leaves with soapy water. Spring feeding will help to prevent powdery mildew.
Water regularly when establishing
Water your climbing honeysuckle well during its first growing season to help it establish. Once established, only an occasional deep watering will be needed during drier spells. If your plant is trained up a wall, its soil might not get rained on (known as a rain shadow effect), so it's worth making sure that the soil doesn't dry out, even when it's recently rained.
Full sun to partial shade
Lonicera will be happy in sun but does best in partial shade. Avoid overly strong sunlight as this can scorch your plant.
Fertile, moist and well drained soil
This plant will grow well in any soil type provided it's fertile, rich in humus, moist and drains well. Consider adding compost to the soil if drainage is poor.
Feed every spring
Feed with a general purpose fertiliser (like Blood, Fish and Bone) and mulch in Spring to help reduce the risk of powdery mildew.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
