I just love Lonicera sempevirens and planted a half dozen of these around the property and for the neighbors adjoining mine. They're inexpensive too, cost here was only $8 - $10 for a nice sized vine that grows quickly. Some organic bone meal will help them to flower well. It's also a good host plant for Hummingbird Sphinx moth caterpillars. Thank you!
