Lonicera periclymenum 'Sweet Sue' is a charming addition to any garden, known for its fragrant flowers, attractive berries, and ability to support pollinators and birds. This deciduous, twining climber grows at a moderate pace, reaching its ultimate size in 5 to 10 years. With rounded blue-green leaves, it creates a lush backdrop for clusters of creamy-white, tubular flowers that transition to yellow as they bloom from mid-summer to early autumn. The strong evening scent of these flowers attracts various pollinators, while the ornamental red berries that appear in autumn provide nourishment for local birds.
This versatile plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil, adaptable to chalk, clay, loam, or sandy conditions. Fully hardy in the UK, it can be positioned in north, south, east, or west-facing areas and tolerates both exposed and sheltered sites. Ideal for training over trellises, fences, or pergolas, 'Sweet Sue' can also thrive in large pots with proper care. To ensure healthy growth, plant it at least 30 cm away from walls or fences, prune after flowering, and maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry spells. A balanced spring fertilizer will further promote its vigorous growth, with a potential height of 7 meters and a spread of 1.5 meters.
