?A stately twining vine with fragrant flowers and evergreen foliage that's well mannered in most garden locations. Flowers are much larger than most other honeysuckle varieties.

This superb climber is semi evergreen. The large attractive flowers are white turning yellow as they age. The petals are fairly thin, but very pretty in May-June.

Award of Garden Merit from the RHS, this has wonderfully elegant flowers of a long thin waist and two narrow long recurved petals one top and one bottom. The flowers are nicely scented and open white and then age to a soft yellow for a pleasing two-toned effect. Evergreen, hardy in our area with good vigor.
