Purplish-red, tubular flowers with yellow-throats, smother this honeysuckle in June and July and are often followed by small, shiny, black fruits. The handsome, tapered, glossy, dark green leaves are retained all year, so this vigorous variety is ideal for covering a pergola, arch or boundary wall. It is happy in partial shade.Garden care: Cut back established plants after flowering, removing a third of the flowering shoots. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant in early spring.
