A Classic Scented Climber with Vibrant Purple-Red and Yellow Blooms

Lonicera periclymenum 'Belgica', commonly known as the Early Dutch Honeysuckle, is a beloved garden favourite that brings an explosion of colour and fragrance to any vertical space. This vigorous deciduous climber is famous for its striking clusters of tubular flowers that emerge a rich purple-red before gracefully fading to a soft, golden yellow as they mature. This colour transition creates a beautiful multi-toned effect against the lush green foliage, making it a standout feature during its primary flowering flush in early summer and its delightful second display in late summer.

The scent of 'Belgica' is truly intoxicating, especially on warm summer evenings when its sweet perfume fills the air, attracting bees, butterflies, and moths. It is an incredibly fast-growing plant, making it perfect for those who want to quickly cover an archway, fence, or pergola with a romantic, cottage-garden feel. This hardy climber is easy to grow and maintains its health and vigour year after year, providing both visual beauty and a sensory experience that makes every trip to the garden feel special.
