Kcmojoe,
The most fragrant honeysuckle I know of is the weed that my neighbor planted on the back fence of my yard.
The weed.
The weed that kills plants, and that my smokebush is right in front of.
I prune the honeysuckle whenever it reaches out for my bush.
I have to or it will strangle it.
I love the japanese honeysuckle though.
The smell is so heavenly that I will trim it every day if I have to.
I planted 2 domestic honeysuckles, which have orange and yellow blooms, but no smell at all.
If you have the time and patience, plant the japanese honeysuckle, (everyone who reads this is going to scream NONOOOOO), if you don't, choose another vine, the other honeysuckles don't smell strong at all.By the way, did I mention I DID NOT plant this honeysuckle, it is on my neighbors fence, so I can't remove it.
Good Luck!

Japanese honeysuckle grows 18' into trees, destroying the understory of forests and heavily wooded areas. The roots grow laterally under the soil for at least 8 feet. If it's allowed to flower because "people like the scent" it then produces seed, birds will eat the seed and deposit it in wooded areas, along fence rows, etc., extensively spreading the vine. Coral honeysuckle is a great honeysuckle as it is a huge attractant to hummingbirds and it's also a very beautiful, flowering vine.

Kcmojoe,
Coral honeysuckle does not have a fragrance.
I have 2 of them.
If you want to plant a honeysuckle around your patio though, it may be a good choice for you.
You don't want the number of bees near your patio that the fragrant honeysuckle will bring, you may end up with stings.
Morning Glory is pretty and grows fast, no frangrance though, which is what your question was.
GOod Luck!
Congrats on your home!

I agree that the "weedy" honeysuckle is the most fragrant and also invasive. If you can keep it somewhere and control it, including cutting off the spent blooms it should be manageable but that's a pain in the ... I have a couple red varieties, including a native one that are just beautiful but not fragrant. If you have a sheltered spot you might be able to grow Jasminum officinale which has a nice scent.

Yes, I know it's invasive! But I sure do love my Japanese honeysuckle. Couldn't get rid of it so years ago I gave in and let it climb the chain link fence. It most decidedly must be kept in check. But OH the smell is heavenly! Would I give it up? No way! Hummers love it. Also have the coral and Dropmore Scarlet but still love my smelly one the best.There is also a swamp honeysuckle that's a bush and quite fragrant. Jan Z5-NH

My neighbor planted it too and it has taken over areas of my azaleas and a few other shrubs. I love the way it smells, but it is incredibly invasive. I am forever pulling up volunteers.I have the coral honeysuckle too and it is almost disappointing in its lack of fragrance. My advice would be to plant it and then watch it like you would kudzu, they seem to be equally invasive.
I am still partial though.. for fragrance, there is nothing like it in the world.

Is this coral honeysuckle? I've been told it is but when I Google it, It didn't look the same to me?

This is Tecomaria capensis.

You should check out the Lonicera periclymenum honeysuckles. Also known as Dutch honeysuckle. They are very fragrant, and not considered invasive in the United States.

Lonicera japonicum, standishii, and fragrantissima are all considered invasive in the United States. They crowd out our native plants with their aggressive growth, and lessen biodiversity. Please do not plant any of these types of honeysuckles! Instead, stick with our native honeysuckles, and the Dutch honeysuckles, also known as Lonicera periclymenum, which are VERY fragrant!

This thread is ridiculously outdated but recent comments demand clarification.

" Lonicera japonicum, standishii, and fragrantissuma are all considered invasive in the United States "

An unnecessarily broad and unsupported statement. As anyone who studies invasive plant species understands, invasiveness is highly location dependent. Assigning the problem to the entire US is painting the issue with a much too wide a brush. What is considered invasive in MA is unlikely to be considered invasive in OR, as climate, growing season and other factors are radically different. In fact, 2 states with the most extensive and detailed listing of invasive plants include NO loniceras of any species!!

Although I suspect the poster is AI generated, the assessment of the fragrance of the woodbine, Lonicera periclymenum, is accurate.

Hello, Gardengal48! I am not an AI generated bot. I live in southern Ohio. What you say is mostly true. What might be native to the eastern half of the country, might be considered invasive in the western half, the same with north and south USA. I can hardly believe that Japanese honeysuckle wouldn't be considered invasive everywhere in the USA. The other two aforementioned are definitely not native, and are considered invasive in the United states. The fact that they aren't listed as invasives everywhere, would not affect me giving pause to planting something that may be considered invasive in a particular area 5 or 10 years down the line. Dutch honeysuckle is European, but nowhere could I find that it is considered invasive anywhere in this country. It has been growing here since the late 1800s, early 1900s, and it's often recommended over the more invasive other three mentioned before. Please refer to the link below to see that my statements regarding the invasive nature of the three I had mentioned is not without authority.🫶🏼✌🏼

"What you say is mostly true."

What I say is entirely true!! I am a professional horticulturist and I know whereof I speak! Whether you believe it or not, the 3 honeysuckles you mentioned are all non-native but with very regional invasive characteristics. They are by no means considered invasive everywhere in the US and it is inaccurate to state otherwise..

If you do not wish to be viewed as AI, then do not jump into an inactive 17 year old thread with invalid and unsupported statements.

I see that you did not bother to open the link. Your loss, "professional horticulturist". My statements were definitely not unsubstantiated. Open the link and read for yourself. While it might not be considered as invasive out west, where the dryness and the cold check it's spread, the birds who eat the berries know no boundaries, and can carry the seeds all over the United states. With so many other options available, why chance it for the rest of the country just because it is not AS invasive out west?
