Shrub ID anyone please?

[Nicos]

This amazingly scented flower has been in bloom for over 2 weeks now and I’ve forgotten what it’s called.

the shrub is 8 years old and about 5 ft high by 5 ft wide
if that helps?



The flowers are in pairs and smell like honeysuckle

Is it a Winter-Flowering Honeysuckle, Lonicera fragrantissima?

[Nicos]

Ha ha ha ha ha....yes it is!!!!....no wonder it smells of honeysuckle

me thinks I’ll be buying another one !

Thanks Martin

It should be pretty easy to grow from cuttings.
I have a box leaved hunysuckle and it grows from cuttings very easily.

Ok ..thanks! Seems a good way to go with that

Have had a LONICERA x purpusii 'Winter Beauty' since 1995. Lovely scent. Mine has suckered.
Bumble bees on it throughout winter.

Another one for a strong winter scent is winter box. It self seeds.
