Honeysuckle is a woody climber commonly found in woods and along hedges, where it twines itself around shrubs or trees and can reach a height of up to 6m, its interweaving stems helping to stay off the woodland floor. Honeysuckle is widespread throughout Britain and comprises many species, many introduced and naturalised. Honeysuckle flowers have one of the sweetest scents of all British wild flowers. The scent is strongest at night to attract pollinating moths.
