Lonicera japonica 'Dart's World'
semi-evergreen honeysuckle
Often producing its highly scented flowers non-stop from late spring to autumn, this fast-growing climber will usually keep its rich green foliage throughout the winter too - especially if the temperatures do not drop too low. The blooms appear in open clusters, and as they age they change from rich pink to blush, and then creamy yellow, and if planted in a sunny, reasonably sheltered spot, their perfume is divine!
How to care for Lonicera japonica Dart's World:
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.

This climber is semi-evergreen, so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new foliage appears again in spring.
