Re: Honeysuckle
Per my knowledge only white( which turns yellow) colored is available and it is fragrant too. I have seen a huge specimen in pattoki in ground with hundreds of flowers but it is also not growing very good for me in lahore. Other colors i have not seen.
I am trying to germinate the seeds of lonicera periclymenum but it requires stratification lets hope i am successful.

Re: Honeysuckle
Winter hardy is good because it will tolerate frost. The variety which is available in patoki and in lahore is lonicera japonica

Re: Honeysuckle
Because it is native to UK, it needs cold treatment. I kept it in fridge for 2 months but no germination yet. I am afraid it is a failure from my side. The seeds did not rot, they are hard, which is good but no germination yet. I will not try its seeds again. I can only hope the ones i have planted germinate.

Re: Honeysuckle
Lonicera japonica is a very beautiful honeysuckle with decorativ red fruits. I never had success in seeds, but sometimes with cuttings.
