Etruscan honeysuckle
Lonicera etrusca
Etruscan honeysuckle is a vigorous, semi-evergreen climbing vine that produces clusters of fragrant cream and yellow flowers with a beautiful red blush, especially attractive to pollinators and hummingbirds. Plant it in sun to partial shade in well-drained soil and provide a trellis or support for it to scramble over; it needs very little care once established. Prune lightly after flowering to keep it tidy and to encourage a fresh flush of blooms.
