The Lonicera periclymenum 'Serotina' is a fragrant honeysuckle that truly shines in the evening. With pinkish-yellow flowers and dark green leaves, this climbing plant draws attention and fills your outdoor space with a subtle, pleasant scent. You best place this plant against a wall with a trellis or let it climb over a pergola; this way, the fragrance reaches the ideal spot.
Why choose this honeysuckle?
The 'Serotina' is naturally a true border and climbing plant: it likes to grow from the coolness of forest edges up to a light, warm spot. This makes it ideal for places where you want to add height and fragrance without much maintenance. Please note: keep the base of the plant somewhat shady and, if necessary, provide ground cover or a 'dakpanboot' (tile cover) at the base, as recommended in the product description.
Location & care
Preferably place the Lonicera in partial shade to sun; this position aligns with its natural preference. Ensure the base remains cool and lightly shaded—this aids growth and flowering. The plant is suitable for climbing along walls with a trellis or on pergolas. As it is a climbing plant, it needs support to grow upwards and properly display its flowers and fragrance.
Application in the garden
Use honeysuckle to create vertical structure: along fences, over pergolas, or as a green wall against a facade. The pinkish-yellow flowers and evening fragrance make it perfect for seating areas and terraces. Combine a low ground cover at the base to keep the roots cool, as advised in the product description.

Additional considerations
Honeysuckle naturally loves to grow in forest edges and climbs from a cool base to a warmer, light spot. Follow this natural preference for the best results in your garden. Providing root cover at the base of the plants, such as ground cover or a 'dakpanboot' (tile cover), helps keep the roots cool and moist—this promotes healthy growth and long-lasting blooms.
In short: do you have space for a fragrant, climbing addition against a wall or on a pergola and want to enjoy the soft honeysuckle fragrance in the evening? This Lonicera periclymenum 'Serotina' from MEERgroothandel Planten is a strong choice for partial shade to sunny locations with a cool base.
