Lonicera fragrantissima

Lonicera fragrantissima is a deciduous to semi-evergreen shrub prized for its exceptionally fragrant, creamy-white flowers that appear in the depths of winter. Unlike many honeysuckles, this species is not a climber but a bushy shrub, making it perfect for hedging or as a standalone specimen. Its blooms emerge on bare branches from midwinter to early spring, offering vital nectar for early pollinators and much-needed scent and interest during the garden’s quieter months.
