About this plant

Scentsation Honeysuckle is a fast-growing deciduous to semi-evergreen vine that produces fragrant flowers from late spring through fall. The flowers are creamy yellow, flushed with pink and purple in bud, aging to gold. It twines readily over trellises, arbors, pergolas, and fences, reaching 13-26 feet tall with proper support. Deer-resistant and adaptable to full sun or part shade, it suits both garden beds and large containers. The berries are ornamental and not meant to be eaten by people or pets, and because some regions restrict various honeysuckles, check your local invasive plant list before planting.

Your plant arrives nursery-grown in its container, ready to plant. Water it thoroughly on arrival, then plant into well-drained soil at the same depth. Give it a trellis or arbor to climb. During the first season, water consistently to help it establish. Once mature, it requires only average water.

Climbing the Trellis with Scentsation

It needs something to twine up, and a tall, sturdy support gives it room to climb.

Entry arbor

Train it over a gate or arbor so the scent greets you on the way in.

Mailbox post

A narrow spread of about 2 to 3 feet suits a tall post or trellis by the street.

Fence cover

Along a fence, plants 3 to 6 feet apart build a flowering wall.

Clematis pairing

Weave it with clematis or climbing roses, and shade the roots with low perennials.

Not ideal for: Without a trellis or fence it sprawls, so skip open beds with nothing to climb.

Good to know: Berries are not for eating by people or pets, and some regions list honeysuckles, so check locally.

Questions before you buy

Which size should I choose?

The 8" pot is the smallest starter option. The 2 gallon is mid-size with more established growth. The 3 gallon is the largest. All three grow on to the same mature size.

When should I plant after arrival?

Plant immediately upon arrival or within a few days if necessary. If you need to delay, water the container well. Planting promptly allows the roots to establish quickly into their permanent location.

How large does this vine get?

Trained on a trellis or arbor, it can climb 13 to 26 feet with a slim spread of about 2 to 3 feet. Without support, it sprawls further. It is a fast grower once established.

How much sun does Scentsation Honeysuckle need?

Full sun produces the best flowering and strongest fragrance. It tolerates part shade, including afternoon shade in hot climates, though flowering may be lighter. For maximum flowers and scent, plant in a full-sun location.

What USDA hardiness zones can I grow this in?

Scentsation Honeysuckle grows in zones 5-9. In zone 5, foliage typically drops in winter; in milder zones 7-9, the plant often stays semi-evergreen. Verify your zone before purchasing to confirm this vine will survive your winters.

What care does it need during the first year?

Water consistently while the plant establishes, providing average, evenly moist soil. Set up a trellis or support immediately after planting. It tolerates most well-drained soils and typically blooms the first season. Once established, water needs drop to average.
