Re: Scented yellow rhododendron?
Sometimes known as honeysuckle azalea. It self seeds freely in our garden. -
Re: Fence Screen
Well, one thing to think about is that the laurel roots will not be stopped by the fence, so before planting it would be a good idea to dig a trench in front of your fence, and put in a weedproof barrier. Then you can improve the soil in front. Put down around 15cm of organic mulch. If on clay, something like well-rotted… -
Re: What is this??
The roots are not on your ground. So you will not be able to kill the root. They are on the other side of the boundary wall and fence. Honeysuckles normally have flowers that have a wonderful scent. Why not wait and see. Maybe you will love it. -
Honeysuckle leaves changing colour around edges
I planted Lonicera Belgica in a fairly large planter at the end of last summer and it was doing okay with keeping its green leaves until two weeks ago when I noticed it had lost its lower leaves and whatever was left had been turning orangey-red around the edges.

Re: Hedging with colour
The world's your oyster! I have a particular thing about winter flowering shrubs because they cheer me up. I love mahonia, witch hazel, cornus and winter honeysuckle. If it's acid enough camellias and rhododendron are fabulous but the summer shrubs are wonderful, too with roses to give colour. There are evergreens like… -
Evergreen cover for bare, north-facing fence.
I have an 8' stretch of north facing boundary fence (c. 6' high) that needs covering, ideally with something evergreen. Soil ok but basically alkaline clay. In addition to being north facing, the site also gets some chill winds. Elsewhere along the fence I already have a few varieties of honeysuckle, plus a schizophragma… -
Re: Disguise an ugly fence
Could you perhaps anchor in some tall trellis on your side of the wall into the soil , paint it and start growing climbers up and over it? Honeysuckle, clematis etc?
