Description
Peaches & Cream is a masterpiece of a honeysuckle, and it’s well behaved! It has everything we look for and want in a honeysuckle vine, but grows to only about 7 feet tall in 5 years and maybe 8 or 9 feet tall in 7 years.
Where to start with the description of this magnificent flowering vine? We already mentioned it has a compact growth habit, so let’s talk about the flowers. You and your hummingbirds will love them. You’ll love the color and delicious fragrance, and the hummingbirds will love the sweet nectar. Beginning in late spring and continuing through summer, abundant large clusters of elongated, purple-red buds open into bi-color flowers with dark pink outsides and yellow to white on inside fading to a soft peach color. The flowers are a beautiful contrast with the deep green foliage, which is evergreen in the southern range where it grows. After the flowering season has ended in late summer red and purple berries form that extend the color show, and which are a delight to the songbirds. You’ll be happy to know that this honeysuckle is highly disease resistant and cold hardy to USDA Zone 4a. Find Your Zone
This vine does not cling to walls and other surfaces, however, it will grow up and on just about anything that provides its vines something to twine around. If you don’t have a trellis, arch or other structure suitable for this vine to grow on, it can also be grown as an attractive mounding shrub or very pretty groundcover. Its smaller size makes it suitable for growing on a support in pots, planters and other containers, and in smaller gardens where space is limited without taking over the garden.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 7 to 9 feet tall in 7 years, Peaches & Cream Honeysuckle is a compact variety ideal for use to grow on fences, rails, posts, mailboxes, trellises and other structures or supports its vines can twine around. A fine addition to hummingbird gardens, cottage gardens, fragrance gardens and peach or pink theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart to cover fences or other structures
Growing Preferences
Peaches & Cream Honeysuckle is easily grown in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to light shade. The vine produces more flowers and is more vigorous in full sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day and morning sun to dry the dew from the leaves. That said, in very hot climates the vine will appreciate some shade or filtered sun during the hottest part of the day in summer. Quite drought tolerant when established and hardy in USDA Zones 4a-9b Find Your Zone

I just want to thank you for the 2 beautiful plants received on the day promised. They were beautifully packed and I got 1 planted today and put on the trellis with soft string.
First time planting a vine but you had it supported so nicely it wasn’t hare. I am excited to have them, always wanted a honeysuckle and I am waiting for the blooms and the
first time a hummingbird is able to drink from it. Thanks you for the absolutely beautiful plants.———————————————————————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

This was my first order with Wilson brothers and I am so glad I found them. The bush was packed tightly in the box and arrived in good condition. The plant looked great with lots of vines on it, probably 3 feet tall. I put it in the ground in early January and will be excited to see how it does.

My Peaches and Cream Fragrant Honeysuckle arrived in very short order which was greatly appreciated. It was in great condition after the trip here.

I have ordered plants on Line thru other companies, and have always been disappointed in the shipping. Wilson Brothers had this plant wrapped & shipped with many details- I was very impressed. The plant didn’t have a lot of leaves on it, but it did have some new buds . Have planted the vine & it has already gotten new leaves & It is beginning to fill out, I think it is going to be a healthy Plant. Would definitely order again thru Wilson Brothers. You might pay a little more, but having a plant arrive all in one piece & healthy, is well worth it.—————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

I ordered the peaches and cream honeysuckle because honeysuckle is one of my wife’s favorite flowers, and my kids love honeysuckle. My wife enjoys real plants way more than she does the wasteful cut & arrange flowers that die instantly, so more times than not, I’ll surprise her with a new plant or two rather than jewelry for her collection/garden.
The pricing was great and shipping was fast in my opinion. The honeysuckle came in a very thick, breathable cardboard box. The plant was healthy and came with plenty of useful information. It is beautiful, already starting to take over one piece of fence 2 weeks after delivery, and my wife loves it.
I will be a Wilson Bros. customer for life.—————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Our peaches and cream showed up the weekend before Father’ Day well boxed and fully protected. Followed the planting instructions on line we planted it two days later. It is along out front walk in full sunny against a trellis and it has already started to wrap around the lower portion. Despite our excessive heat and dry it has proven it’s hardiness -now I can wait to see it next spring as it grows and blooms.————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

Wilson Brothers promptly answered my question before I placed my order. Then the honeysuckle plant arrived very quickly. The package was amazing and protected the large, healthy plant perfectly. It was late in the fall when I planted it, but it looks normal now, starting to go dormant. I look forward to enjoying its flowers next summer.————————————Hi Marty, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Peaches & Cream Fragrant Honeysuckle.

Sent was a huge 3 and1/2 ft plant in great condition. Producing numerous blooms already. Wilson Bros. definitely give you the ultimate care in the packing/shipping of their plants. Also, being in Georgia, they are producing some of the harder to find cultivars of the wild native azaleas that are outstanding.——————————————Hi Kurt, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Peaches & Cream Fragrant Honeysuckle.
