Lonicera sempervirens ‘John Clayton’
Choose John Clayton Honeysuckle if you want a native-style flowering vine with yellow, fragrant blooms for a fence, arbor, or trellis. The tradeoff: it still needs training and pruning, and it is not our pick where deer feed heavily.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | Yellow flowers and twining growth give it presence on structures without the bulk of heavier vines. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills a support at a good pace, but young plants still need guidance. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on tying in new growth and pruning stray stems after flowering. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B- | It can work in a smaller bed if the support is defined and pruning is realistic. |
| Screening Value | C+ | It softens a fence or arbor, but it is not a dense privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for a supported structure where the homeowner wants flowers, not privacy. Set the support first, then keep new growth tied and shaped early.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
