Re: Lonicera fragrantissima

It's a great old-fashioned shrub. And it is surely welcome here in the dead of winter. Maybe I can find more than two suckers. I must tell you, however, that I transplanted mine about three years ago, and this is the first year they have actually bloomed.

I assumed it wouldn't be hardy here, but I looked Lonicera fragrantissima up at MOBOT and it is Zones 4-8. However, they say it blooms March-April in St Louis. 
Hmmm...wonder who sells this one.  I'd love to get my hands on it.

I keep forgetting to tell you all that I recently noticed my winter
honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima) is blooming. I never even remember I 
have it until it blooms.  What a fragrant reminder that spring will come
again! I do love this old fashioned shrub. I got mine from suckers at an abandoned homestead nearby. It's got to be one of the easiest plants to grow since it requires absolutely no care. I also checked out the Hellebores, and they have doubled in size with lots of new growth. I'm expecting blooms on 
them in the next few weeks.
