Hi, everybody,
Its a long time since I did'nt write, too busy.
I can give you an idea for a nice lonicera fragant, shade-tolerant and non
invasive one : simply lonicera americana : amazing that the french gardener
is advertising for an american plant !
I have it in my woodland garden and it's a good behaviour, it's
drought-resistant too, because I rarely water and it's growing under a beech
tree. It's only 2m high but I suppose it would have grow quicker if I had
pamper it.
