Delavay Honeysuckle | Lonicera similis 'Delavayi'
The Highlights
- Trumpet shaped cascades of soft white blooms
- Enhances your seating area with a heady fragrance
- Twining climber loves a sunny wall or arbour
- Semi-evergreen for long lasting colour
- Glossy black berries in Autumn
- 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
