In a wildlife-friendly garden, the Lonicera periclymenum (commonly known as native honeysuckle) is a prized addition. This hardy climber, native to woodlands and hedgerows, thrives in shady, rooty corners, offering an abundance of benefits for local wildlife. Its heavily fragrant, pink-flushed creamy flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and moths, while dormice enjoy its sugary nectar. Later in the season, clusters of glossy red berries provide a nutritious feast for birds like thrushes and warblers. This deciduous climber grows vigorously but is less invasive than other varieties. Throughout summer, its trumpet-shaped flowers emit a strong fragrance, especially in the evenings. The Lonicera periclymenum is perfect for adorning fences and walls, offering a beautiful and beneficial feature for any garden aiming to support local wildlife.
