Lonicera x tellmanniana

A lovely and unusual climbing honeysuckle, Lonicera x tellmanniana has masses of rich coppery-yellow flowers in terminal clusters in mid summer. Established plants give a spectacular display of summer flowers!

Excellent as part of a 'hot' border and ideal against a sunny wall or fence, Lonicera x tellmanniana is also very pretty if allowed to climb up and cover an old tree trunk. This honeysuckle will also grow in some shade, although generally with slightly fewer flowers.
