This pretty shrub flowers yearly. There is no scent to the flowers. No bugs attack this plant.

Not a common one in the UK,Durgan.Some will be surprised that a Honeysuckle is not some scented climbing thing,though the species includes some of the hardiest shrubs around,and there probably isn't a supermarket in the UK whose car park isn't edged with Lonicera Pileata (who's only attribute is it's green!)

You can buy it in pound shops in this country, I would much prefer the old fashioned English/French types because of their scent
