Lonicera x brownii 'Dropmore Scarlet' is a very beautiful climbing plant with healthy grey/green deciduous or semi-evergreen rounded foliage and lovely trumpet flowers of scarlet and orange. It will flower from mid summer until September but does need a south or south west position to do well.
It has little or no fragrance and, in a warm summer, will produce red berries much loved by birds. It is less vigorous than other honeysuckle varieties and will need support. It should be pruned by 1/3rd after flowering. It will grow in any reasonable fertile moisture retentive soil but does not appreciate being waterlogged.
Plant is grown in a 3L pot and is around 45cm tall
