Lonicera × heckrottii ‘Gold Flame’

Lonicera × heckrottii ‘Gold Flame’ is a beautiful, fragrant climbing honeysuckle loved for its vibrant tubular flowers and long flowering season. From late spring through summer, clusters of deep pink buds open to reveal glowing golden-yellow centres, filling the garden with a sweet evening fragrance that attracts bees and butterflies.

This vigorous yet manageable climber is perfect for training over a trellis, pergola, fence or garden arch, where its colourful flowers and scent can be enjoyed throughout the warmer months. Unlike some honeysuckles, ‘Gold Flame’ is well behaved and easy to maintain, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens as well as larger planting schemes.

The semi-evergreen foliage provides soft green coverage through much of the year, while the long flowering period ensures continuous colour in the garden. It works beautifully in cottage gardens, wildlife-friendly planting and traditional garden settings.
