Lonicera x Brownii 'Dropmore Scarlet' Honeysuckle

'Dropmore Scarlet' is a beautiful climbing plant with healthy grey/green deciduous or semi-evergreen (depending on your area), rounded foliage and lovely trumpet flowers of scarlet and orange. It will flower from midsummer until September in ideal conditions.

It has little or no fragrance and, in a warm summer, will produce red berries much loved by birds. It is less vigorous than other honeysuckle varieties and will need support.

Browse our variety of honeysuckle or see our full range of climbing plants.

Growing Dropmore Scarlet

It is good for cottage gardens, informal situations and is for growing over low walls, into pergolas or on a trellis against a sunny wall.

It will grow in any reasonably fertile, moisture retentive soil that does not get waterlogged. It will be fine in partial shade, but its flowering season will shorten compared to being in full sun.

It should be pruned by 1/3rd after flowering.

Being less vigorous than other honeysuckles it will grow quite happily with other climbers and would look spectacular with a purple clematis, such as Jackmanii, where the contrast of colour and flower shape will complement both plants. Both the clematis and the Lonicera can be pruned back in autumn and left to scramble.

Look out for:

Lonicera x brownii 'Dropmore Scarlet' is generally disease free but may suffer a little from mildew in hot dry spells.

Trivia:

Lonicera varieties, named after the 16th century German botanist, Adam Lonicer, vary enormously. Native to the Northern Hemisphere, they are all hardy and vigorous climbers and, considering the habit of our native Woodbine, suit cottage garden situations.

Sometimes listed as Lonicera × brownii 'Fuchsioides' or Lonicera sempervirens 'Dropmore Scarlet'.

Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
