Flowering Period

Lonicera X Brownii Dropmore Scarlet

Long flowering variety boasting vibrant flowers!

Flowering over a long period from July to September the ‘Dropmore Scarlet’ is a fierce honeysuckle with long, trumpet-shaped red-orange flowers, sometimes followed by vibrant red berries. With exception to the bitterest of winters this Honeysuckle is robust and semi-evergreen. The 'Dropmore Scarlet' is excellent for rapidly covering walls and fences or unsightly features in the garden. Despite being unscented, this vigorous climber more than compensates with its flame-coloured blooms and blue-green leaves.

Culinary uses: Parboiled the leaves can be used as a vegetable. The sweet nectar from the flowers can be sucked and made into a syrup or puddings. Tea can also be produced from the flowers, leaves, and buds.

Height: 4m (13'). Spread: 2m (7').

Plant honeysuckle against a suitable, sturdy support such as trellis or strong wires attached to walls and pergolas, in fertile, moist, free draining soil. Poor soils can be improved by adding plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost. Choose a position in sun or semi-shade. When growing honeysuckle in patio containers, use soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Very Large items

If ordering any large items marked large lorry items  a surcharge of £5 per item will be applied. These items are also not available to areas and postcodes shown under non standard deliveries. We may need to contact you regarding delivery so please provide a contact number with all orders.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Dobies products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days.
