Insights
Honeysuckle, in its natural form, is a fairly invasive climbing vine, also known as Woodbine. It was traditionally encouraged to grow around garden doorways or gates because folklore declared it would sweep a witch off your back as you passed through. This variety is compact and restrained and its hidden magic resides in its scent.
