Description
A truly beautiful climber, suitable for growing in a container on your patio or balcony and producing a vast array of sweetly scented blooms. Ideal for a pot or planted in the sunny spot of a smaller outdoor space, this late Dutch honeysuckle really can be grown by anyone, whatever the size of your garden! With an impressively long flowering period from early summer until the end of autumn, the 'Serotina' produces merlot-coloured buds in early summer, which open to reveal fabulously fragrant flowers. Easy to grow and maintain, with the only pruning required being a quick snip to keep it tidy. This climber is also disease tolerant and fully hardy. Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, ready for planting straight out.
Top Tips
The 'Serotina' positively thrives in a coastal garden so is a perfect choice for those lucky enough to live by the sea!
Care Information
'Lonicera' has a vigorous climbing habit and will flourish when twined around a fence, arbour or pergola. Planting the climbers 45cm apart will provide you with good even coverage. Your plants will also appreciate some vertical wire supports, again at 45cm intervals. Keep the soil moist, watering weekly in the warmer months and fortnightly in Winter if dry. If honeysuckle aphids appear, wipe them off and spray the leaves with soapy water. Spring feeding will help to prevent powdery mildew. Lonicera will be happy in sun or partial shade. Avoid strong sunlight, which can scorch your plant. Feed with a general purpose fertiliser and mulch in Spring.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
