‘Scentsation’ Honeysuckle

‘Scentsation’ is a vigorous, deciduous honeysuckle vine with fragrant yellow flowers and bright red berries. Proven Winners lists a long display from mid-spring into late summer and recommends training the vine along a trellis or fence. Its plant page gives a garden height of 8–10 feet and spread of 2–4 feet; a separate spacing recommendation is wider, so allow support and room for the climbing stems. The patent describes a much larger mature specimen, illustrating how size can vary with age and growing conditions. ## Garden use Grow this selection in full sun or part shade on a sturdy trellis, arbor, or fence. The flowers provide a strong scent and the berries follow bloom; the berries are not edible. Plant where the fragrance can be enjoyed and where the vine can be pruned without damaging its support. The page lists hardiness zones 4–9 and notes that this selection is not invasive like some other honeysuckles. ## Maintenance Pruning is usually unnecessary. If shaping is needed, trim after flowering. Keep the base watered during establishment and avoid letting the root zone remain waterlogged.
