Lonicera periclymenum 'Serotina' is a deciduous climber in the Caprifoliaceae family with wonderfully perfumed flowers that bloom into the early fall.

The powerfully fragrant cream and red flowers appear in late spring through summer, providing seasonal colour. The flowers emit a delightful fragrance that carries well in still air, making this an excellent choice near seating areas and pathways. Ornamental seed heads or fruit follow the flowers, extending the season of interest well into autumn and winter.

The foliage is green, turning colour or dropping in autumn.

The growth rate is fast, she is capable of growing 1-2 metres of new growth per season.

Caprifoliaceae > Lonicera > periclymenum.

The Caprifoliaceae (honeysuckle family) includes both climbing and shrubby species, many valued for fragrant flowers. This species is native to Netherlands and was introduced to European gardens from Netherlands.

In terms of disease, we're generally looking at:

Powdery mildew — very common in dry conditions > ensure roots stay moist while foliage has air flow
Aphids — cluster on shoot tips causing distortion> blast with water or diluted alcohol, encourage predators
Leaf spot — fungal spots in wet seasons; mostly cosmetic > improve air circulation
Leaf blight — browning and dieback of shoots > prune out affected growth
Honeysuckle moth caterpillar — larvae feed inside rolled leaves > hand-pick affected leaves
