Thompson and Morgan Lonicera Periclymenum Serotina Plant Pot 3L

A classic cottage garden climber, Honeysuckle ‘Serotina’ flowers later than most varieties, showcasing delightful whorls of pink and white tubular blooms. These adorn the twining stems, releasing a distinctive perfume that fills the air well into autumn. Following the blooms, small, glassy red berries appear, providing a feast for garden birds.Ideal for creating an informal display against walls and fences, or trained over a free-standing obelisk. For best results, plant Honeysuckle ‘Serotina’ in a sunny or semi-shaded spot, ensuring it has sturdy support like trellis or strong wires attached to walls and pergolas. It thrives in fertile, moist, free-draining soil, which can be improved with well-rotted manure or garden compost. When planting in patio containers, use a soil-based compost.Regular feeding and watering throughout the growing season will help establish the plant. Keep an eye on young shoots, as honeysuckle can be prone to aphid damage, particularly in full sun. Prune immediately after flowering, removing the oldest stems first, then trimming the remaining stems to manage growth. In spring, apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or compost to the base of the plant.
