Lonicera fragrantissima is a delightful winter-flowering shrub bearing fragrant, cream-white flowers on almost leafless branches. These are sometimes followed by dull-red berries. The purple-flushed green leaves appear in spring. The flowers are a magnet for winter-active bumblebees.
Grow Lonicera fragrantissima in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun. For the most floriferous display train it against a sunny wall, ideally near a path or entrance where you can appreciate its heady scent.
