Honeysuckle near the sea

barnesbikebarnesbike Posts: 2

Have a wall to cover which is near the river estuary and salt marshes. The local garden centre suggested one mentioned on gardeners world recently. Alas, they couldn't recall the name but knew it wasn't one they kept. Any ideas or advice on this would be appreciated.

    He mentioned lonicera pericyclum scentsation.  I don't know if it would do well near salt marshes or not.  I have a Heaven Scent and a Graham Thomas.  Taking a few years to get good, dense cover.  And it's not evergreen.  Would a pyracantha work?

    Thanks for the advice. Pyracantha may be a bit slow for the job, the jasmine might be an option. Now I know the name of the scentsation that might be worth a trial too. Thanks again.
