Description

Cover your deck, patio, or fence with the fragrant and colorful blooms of ‘Scentsation’ honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum) from Proven Winners. This vigorous vine twines around any structure and explodes into hundreds of trumpet-shaped golden blooms in early summer. They last for several weeks and are followed by bright red berries, but don’t worry – ‘Scentsation’ is a non-invasive honeysuckle. You’ll be able to enjoy its abundant blooms and all of the hummingbirds and butterflies it attracts without worrying about it spreading. Another excellent, useful shrub from Proven Winners! ‘Scentsation’ is the only fragrant honeysuckle we offer! Its sweet scent will welcome you to the garden. If it lacks fragrance, your plant may be stressed and require some extra attention.

10 Plants That Attract Hummingbirds To Your Garden

Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:

bush distance

Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

Happy Little Travelers

I ordered two Yellow Honeysuckle to flank my east porch. They arrived in great shape and are acclimating on the porch waiting to be planted this weekend. The special plant shipper box they arrived in kept them damp and unbruised on their journey to Western Montana.

Beyond Expectations

I am so happy! Delivery May 1st and today May 31st they are beginning to vine! I wish I had made the investment years ago. I am zone 5 and plan to wrap raised boxes over this 1st winter to help them get established. So far, I am beyond satisfied! And the welcome/unboxing video was a wonderful informative unexpected bonus!

My honeysuckle

Perfect Little Honey!

Our honeysuckle vine was fresh and vibrant upon arrival, and has since starting growing and throwing out arms for its trellis!! So far requiring little training, it has wrapped a vine around the support within three weeks. I like that the vines are grabbing to the thicker structure of the trellis without adaptation or additional wire. We're looking forward to the fragrant flowers next year as it grows its root system this summer. (Zone 6B) We can't wait!!

Happy climber

I was looking for a plant that would climb the trellis over my rain barrel. Since I already have several Clematis, I decided to give the Scentsation Honeysuckle a try. It has put on quite a both of growth already and I hope it works its way up the trellis soon!

Thriving!

I bought 2 of the Scentsation Honeysuckles and planted them around June 24th. They are absolutely thriving!! They've already grown 3-4' up the wood privacy screen that I've planted them beside. And one of the plants just formed new buds this week!! I'm so happy with them: they arrived in great condition and they didn't even seem to skip a beat from shipping and considering they were only 4-6" when they arrived, they've put on so much new growth! Absolutely thrilled with them!

Honeysuckle

The plant arrived in a timely fashion and was in excellent condition, it was kept inside overnight after watering and planted in the ground the next morning, that was two weeks ago and the plant has been flourishing ever since and hopefully will soon start climbing the trellis provided.

IFFY

THE ORIGINAL PLANT I RECIEVED WAS DEAD ON ARRIVAL, HOWEVER YOU GRACIOUSLY REPLACED IT AND THE REPLACEMENT IS HANGING ON WITH A WING AND A PRAYER. I BELIEVE IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF GREAT GARDEN, IT IS JUST THE WRONG TIME OF YEAR TO PLANT IN PHOENIX

Beautiful vine!

We've never grown a honeysuckle vine before, but this 'Scentsation' Honeysuckle Vine (Lonicera) will give us a great start. Big, healthy, flowering, even fragrant!

Lovely vines

The two honeysuckle vines I ordered arrived quickly and were in great shape. I planted them two days later. They have already been growing. One, I noticed this morning, is already climbing to the trellis I had prepared. They’ll be beautiful blooming up there, a lovely backdrop for my pollinator garden.

Uh-oh

Poor packing. Most of the dirt spilled out of containers in shipping. By time I was able to plant, they were sad. Today's shipment was the same. Beat up plants poorly packed.
