Description
8-10’ tall x 20-30’ wide. Don’t cheat yourself of the pleasure of honeysuckles because of invasive Japanese varieties. Grow non-invasive ‘Scentsation’ instead, and enjoy the beauty of a three-season vine in your sunny garden. Intoxicatingly fragrant, ‘Scentsation’ is also nectar-rich, attracting pollinators from bees to hummingbirds. Plant in moisture-retentive well-drained soils in a sunny site where ‘Scentsation’ has room to roam, and consider it for an evening scent garden near a patio where it can be enjoyed in the heavier air of dusk. Creamy two-lipped flowers grow darker as they age, and slowly fruit with scarlet-red berries in the fall. Pollinators aren’t the only lovers of this deep green deciduous vine. Children love to open the flowers in summer and sip the sweet nectar, so this is a great choice for children’s gardens, particularly on an arbor or teepee structure.

I am happy with these vines
"Came small but healthy. Planted them by the back fence with a wood trellis. They are still small but growing. I use a 30% shade because it's been a very hot sunny summer. I give them plenty of water. I think that next year, they should take off. One plant has bloomed some nice flowers. I'm happy."
So beautiful!
"I planted this in early spring, as a 6 inch sprig, at the base of our outdoor light pole. It is now 3 feet tall and is on its second bloom. It is beautiful and fragrant! I even weed whacked it by mistake while it was young, and it came right back!"
We plan to buy more of these
"When it arrived it was really small. Now, 2 months later it's maybe at 12" and blooming! Little superstar!"
Not fast growing
"I wanted the honeysuckle to grow in front of the house and planted in the ground hoping it would grow enough to grow on the trellis. The plant that arrives is very small and it hasn't grown much since I planted in the ground. I think it might have done better for in a container. It will not grow much more this season."
Excellent Customer Service
"When the first honeysuckle vine I ordered arrived at my house, it was dried out and very dead looking. I contacted American Meadows about the issue and they immediately sent me a new plant to replace the dead one. I have had issues with other nurseries and they just ignored me. I really appreciate how American Meadows handled this situation and I will order more plants from them in the future. All the other plants I ordered from American Meadows came in great shape."
No fragrance at all.
"Still looking for a start from an invasive vine which DOES have fragrance. The non-invasive varieties have been developed and have no fragrance whatsoever. Silly law to ban these lovely groundcover worthy plants. Owners can prune then to keep them manageable."
Honeysuckle is my favorite
"New home, new plants. Gotta have my faves."
Year 1: Off to a great start
"This takes a few years to establish, so my plant (less than a year old) is just starting. I planted mine in early spring and by the end of the summer, it had grown to about 5 feet, with a few tendrils branching out. It's already flowering. I bought it to replace the japonica variety I'd bought (because of its heavenly smell) once I'd learned it's invasive and not terribly kind to soil."
