Pollination Info
Pollination Info for Peaches and Cream Bush Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum 'Inov 86')
The Peaches and Cream Bush Honeysuckle is a cultivar of Lonicera periclymenum, commonly known as woodbine or European honeysuckle, native to Europe. Like other honeysuckles, this shrub is insect-pollinated.
Pollination Process:
Honeysuckles produce fragrant and colorful flowers that attract a variety of insects, especially bees and butterflies. The Peaches and Cream Bush Honeysuckle bears spikes of creamy yellow and pink tubular flowers from late spring to early summer. The flowers are hermaphrodite, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs.
During pollination, pollen grains from the anthers (male organs) are transferred to the stigma (female organ) of the same flower or another flower on the same plant or a different plant. Once the pollen grain reaches the stigma, it germinates and sends a tube down through the style to reach the ovary where fertilization occurs resulting in the production of seeds.
Pollination Requirements:
The Peaches and Cream Bush Honeysuckle is a self-fertile plant, meaning it can produce fruit by its own pollen. However, it may benefit from cross-pollination, which occurs when pollen is transferred from a flower on one plant to the stigma of a flower on another plant of the same species.
Having different cultivars of Lonicera periclymenum in your garden can help to increase cross-pollination and fruit set. Planting other nectar and pollen-rich plants nearby can also attract more pollinators to your garden, which can increase interaction between flowers of different plants and increase cross-pollination.
Watering the plant regularly during flowering can help to ensure good fruit set and development. Adequate sunlight and soil nutrients are also important factors for the growth and development of the plant and its flowers.
