Deliciously honey-scented, Lonicera periclymenum 'Serotina' (Late Dutch Honeysuckle) is a compact, slow-growing, twining deciduous vine with large, 2 in. long (4 cm), tubular, crimson-budded flowers that open to reveal creamy-yellow throats. Produced in succession from late spring to the first frosts, the fragrant flowers eventually give way to translucent red berries. Vigorous, this honeysuckle has a foliage of dark green, oval leaves, bluish-green underneath. It is regarded as one of the best honeysuckles because it combines great flower color with powerful fragrance.
