| Diervilla lonicera or Northern Bush Honeysuckle is a plant I am very excited about. It has yellow flower that resemble a honeysuckle, but is not a true honeysuckle.
It is beautiful for certain, and it is a native. Is Diervilla lonicera a fragrant plant though? Thank-you! Sincerely,

| I grow this plant, but I have not noticed a scent. I checked in Cullina, and his material doesn't mention anything about fragrance. |

| Thank-you NCrecue. You are most kind. That is what I thought. I would be glad to hear if anyone had experience to the contrary. I like the plant very well. I don't understand why it should so often be touted as a substitute for invasive. L. japonica though. What merits a honeysuckle's name other than a very fragrant plant? L. flava, from the South, is said to be somewhat fragrant however, as is L. sempervivens 'John Clayton'. Best wishes, |
