    "A superb species" (Hillier), this vigorous (10-30') vine tolerates, even revels, in more sun than most honeysuckles like; purple-tinted young shoots and sweetly fragrant flowers of cream-tinted red, aging to yellow. S/M-D

    Lonicera Superba is a wonderful addition to a warm temperate garden with evergreen woolly leaves and a steady bloom of creamy white and golden yellow flowers. The fragrance is mildly sweet, too! Best grown on a sunny wall in its northern reaches.
