Beloved for its extraordinarily fragrant winter blooms, Lonicera fragrantissima (Sweetest Honeysuckle) is a bushy deciduous shrub. From late winter to early spring, a profusion of highly fragrant, short-tubed, creamy-white flowers, lines up along each stem, before the leaves emerge. The budded branches may be cut for fragrant, indoor arrangements.

My sister gave this embroidery kit years ago, before my first trip to Europe. I had hoped to stitch on the plane, but dainty embroidery scissors could be used to kill, you know. Instead I put in a few stitches in here and there -- hotel rooms, cafes, Oma's living room. This little Honeysuckle Slipper is so bound up with happy memories that, a couple of years later, I bought the matching Rose Hip Slipper to take on another trip. I did cross stitch as a teenager, but these are my first real attempts at embroidery. I love the lack of counting. No rows or boxes. Just a fine outline and the freedom to fill it as I choose. I came across these recently and, over the last two evenings, put the final stitches into them both. (Finishing is not my forte). They still need a wash and an iron, then I'd like to make them into something. I'm not sure what, so ideas are welcome.
The sweet aroma from a honeysuckle brings a rush of memories, here's how to make a delicious summertime treat out of the beautiful flowers.
My 'Gold Flame' honeysuckle is in full bloom right now, and it is georgeous!! Honeysuckle is a super, easy-to-grow ornamental vine for our area. The 'Gold Flame' variety has salmon pink blooms with a yellow throat. Also available in the garden centers right now is the 'Coral' variety which has bright orange blooms (I always thought the names on these two were the opposite of what they should be!) and 'Halls' honeysuckle which has fragrant white and yellow blooms. 'Halls' honeysuckle is probably the one you remember "tasting" when you were a kid! Close-up of a 'Gold Flame' honeysuckle bloom. All of the honeysuckle varieties can be grown as a ground cover or on a trellis or topiary. It will twine up just about anything, but it won't stick to your fence or wall. Once estabilished, honeysuckle doesn't need much water, but it does require vigilant pruning as it can rapidlly overtake an area of your landscape. For that reason, I prefer to grow mine on a free-standing iron topiary my mom gave me for my birthday a few years ago. Topiared honeysuckle covered with blooms. Honeysuckle prefers full sun but is tolerant of some shade. It blooms most heavily in early spring and will continue to bloom sporadically through the summer. A word of warning: I did manage to kill some of mine several years ago by overwatering it. My nursery customers at the time were amazed by this because killing honeysuckle is hard to do! If overwatered, it can develop powdery mildew (it looks like white baby powder on the leaves), and if you still keep watering it (which I did!), it will die. Other than that, you'll have an easy time with it and enjoy the blooms (and fragrance of the 'Halls') for most of the growing season.

Coral honeysuckle, or Lonicera sempervirens, is in many ways the perfect vine. It flowers over much of the growing season, is adaptable and fast growing without being a thug like its invasive cousin, Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and best of all it is a great wildlife plant, attracting and feeding butterflies, caterpillars, and birds.
