Peaches & Cream Fragrant Honeysuckle – Lonicera Periclymenum – 5 Gallon Pot

---

Peaches & Cream is a masterpiece of a honeysuckle, and it’s well behaved! It has everything we look for and want in a honeysuckle vine, but grows to only about 7 feet tall in 5 years and maybe 8 or 9 feet tall in 7 years. 

Where to start with the description of this magnificent flowering vine? We already mentioned it has a compact growth habit, so let’s talk about the flowers. You and your hummingbirds will love them. You’ll love the color and delicious fragrance, and the hummingbirds will love the sweet nectar. Beginning in late spring and continuing through summer, abundant large clusters of elongated, purple-red buds open into bi-color flowers with dark pink outsides and yellow to white on inside fading to a soft peach color. The flowers are a beautiful contrast with the deep green foliage, which is evergreen in the southern range where it grows. After the flowering season has ended in late summer red and purple berries form that extend the color show, and which are a delight to the songbirds. You’ll be happy to know that this honeysuckle is highly disease resistant and cold hardy to USDA Zone 4a.  Find Your Zone
