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.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
