here in z. 6, this vine is vigorous to the point of nearly being invasive. It grows 20 ft. a year on the trellis we want it on, and another 20 ft underground to where we don't want it. Not fragrant.

'Mandarin' honeysuckle is a University of British Columbia introduction. Of the original cross, 100 seeds were sown, of which 98 looked identical to L. tragophylla...only 2 seedlings appeared to be actual hybrids between both parents! 'Mandarin' is actually hardy to zone 4..maybe even 3...my brother has a stunning specimen in Calgary, Alberta, where temps drop to -35 C. The original hybridizer of 'Mandarin' is now the director of the Memorial University Botanical Garden in Newfoundland.

This is a hybrid between Lonicera brownii 'Dropmore Scarlet' and L. tragophylla. It has European Plant Breeders Rights attached so it possibly has other patents too.
