Winter Honeysuckle – Lonicera fragrantissima Shrub Seeds | 50 Seeds | Fast Growing Fragrant Flowering Shrub | Cold Hardy | Attracts Birds

Grow a beautifully fragrant winter-blooming shrub from seed with Winter Honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima). Unlike vining honeysuckles, this hardy shrub forms a wide, arching, multi-stemmed plant that fills the late winter garden with sweet lemon-scented flowers—just when little else is in bloom.

Flowering begins in late winter to very early spring and continues for several weeks. Creamy white, highly fragrant blossoms appear in pairs along the stems, followed by small red berries that attract birds. Nearly evergreen in warmer climates and deciduous in cooler zones, this adaptable shrub thrives in a wide range of conditions.

With its fast growth and spreading form, Winter Honeysuckle is perfect for hedges, screens, mass plantings, and fragrance gardens.
