The buds emerge deep magenta before opening fully to reveal the pink, white and magenta colored flowers. Extremely fragrant, plant Lonicera Peaches and Cream adjacent to a walkway, patio seating area, outside a window or on a garden trellis. The compact habit of Peaches and Cream honeysuckle make this hardy honeysuckle ideal for training as a small flowering shrub by simply pruning back several times during the first growing season. We also found this versatile vine was ideal for cascading over rock walls or down a retaining wall creating a cascade of fragrant flowers.

Simple dead-heading of the florets after they bloom will encourage Lonicera Peaches and Cream to continue to produce fragrant, nectar-rich flowers all summer providing a habitat for hummingbirds and butterflies.
