Parentage: L. fragrantissima and L. standishii
Description: Fragrant Honeysuckle is a cross between two Chinese honeysuckles L. fragrantissima and L. standishii. Named after two famous German collectors, brothers Carl Albert Purpus (1853-1941) and Joseph Anton Purpus (1860-1932). In late March and early April, it pro- duces clusters of powerfully fragrant, creamy, white flowers. Despite the mass of flowers, berries are rarely produced. Suitable for all but the smallest of gardens, it provides both color and a wonderfully sweet scent at a time of year when most trees and shrubs are dormant.
