Lonicera Goldflame

Lonicera x heckrotti Goldflame is commonly known as the American Beauty or Gold Flame Honeysuckle. This prestigious winner of the Royal Horticultural Society Garden of Merit is not just a visual delight but also a treat for the senses. Its flowers, deep pink on the outside, unfurl to reveal an orange-yellow heart, exuding a fragrance that's nothing short of intoxicating. They grace the plant from summer to autumn, and in milder climates, even into early winter. The blue-green foliage, set against reddish stems, adds to its charm.

Goldflame is a climber that thrives in full sun to part shade, preferring fertile, well-drained soil. It's perfect for adorning walls, fences, trellises, and pergolas. While it can reach heights of 3-5m and spread 1.0-1.8m wide, a little pruning keeps it in check. Depending on the climate, it may be winter dormant or semi-deciduous. Whether you're looking to attract butterflies and birds, or simply bask in its beauty, the Goldflame Honeysuckle is a stellar choice for any garden.
