Description
A winning spring duo! The brightly coloured flowers of the 'Gold Flame' Honeysuckle intertwine with the beautiful soft pink inflorescences of the 'Mayleen' Clematis, against a backdrop of abundant green and bronze foliage. Both winners of the prestigious Garden Merit RHS Award, these vigorous climbers will prove irresistible, whether due to their enchanting fragrance or the true vitality they display from spring to autumn. It's all about the harmony of contrasts: the colours, the distinct shapes of the foliage and flowers... The long stems of these two varieties will twine around any support provided. They will enthusiastically cover a pergola, gazebo, or embark on conquering a somewhat sad old hedge...
This duo consists of one 'Gold Flame' Honeysuckle and one 'Mayleen' Clematis.
'Mayleen' is an excellent variety of early-flowering Clematis: from May onwards, it is covered in abundant pale pink fragrant blooms. Notable for its green-bronze foliage, this very vigorous and resistant climber can cover very large areas, reaching a height of about 8m (26ft) when mature! It is derived from the Clematis montana, native to the Himalayas, an excellent garden plant grown abundantly planted in many regions. It does not require pruning below a height of 2m (7ft), and only after flowering.
The Lonicera (x) heckrotii 'Gold Flame' is an improvement of a horticultural hybrid resulting from the cross-breeding of L. sempervirens and L. americana. This hybrid Honeysuckle is more a bush than a true climber, with moderate dimensions. It stands out for its long, brightly coloured summer flowering with pronounced floral and spicy scents. Its beautiful large, bright pink tubular flowers opening onto a yellow-orange throat, succeed one another over a very long period. 'Gold Flame' is a deciduous variety. The adult plant will not exceed 3m (10ft) in height or length and 1m (3ft) in width. The abundant young branches are reddish, as is the juvenile foliage, adding an ornamental touch of colour to this delightful Honeysuckle. The foliage is composed of 5cm (2in)-long leaves, taking on a lovely green-blue hue when mature.
These vigorous and fragrant plants can be used to climb through a hedge or on an unsightly tree, where they will bring brightness and colour from spring to the end of summer. They can also adorn a gazebo or pergola, as they offer the advantage of shading a terrace in summer while letting the sun through in winter. Planted close to the house, one can fully enjoy their fragrant blooms. They can also be trained along a fence or stone wall, gracefully cascading down according to one's desires and tastes.

Planting and care
Honeysuckles thrive in any good deep, slightly or non-calcareous garden soil, in a mildly sunny exposure. Perform a tidy-up pruning every year, although one may severely cut back an old plant to completely renew its framework. This restoration process will take one or two years. Honeysuckles are very hardy climbers ideal for quickly dressing a wall or pergola. Simply provide them with support as they will cling on their own. We love them for their long flowering and wonderful fragrance. Our advice: plant them near your terrace to fully enjoy their intoxicating scent, which intensifies in the morning and evening. Their enemies are aphids, which can be eliminated with pyrethrin, as well as powdery mildew. To limit the risk of disease, ensure that the honeysuckle's branches are well ventilated by place it in an open location. Preventive or curative treatments with Bordeaux mix are effective.
Clematis thrive in sun or partial shade. In a sunny exposure, shade the base of your plant with a ground cover plant or perennial geranium. Clematis like to have cool feet. Plant it in soil worked to a depth of 20 cm (8in), lightened with good compost, and cover the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil. During the first few weeks, water abundantly and regularly. Clematis grip on their supports with their tendrils. To promote their growth, support them with a trellis or let them grow up a tree trunk by placing a mesh. Clematis also enjoy growing freely on neighbouring plants. You can prune them to a height of 1m (3ft) in June. We recommend not to over-water them as stagnant water can promote fungal diseases at the base of the plant.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
