Fast-growing Firecracker honeysuckle is a showy sweet-scented stunner of a plant, if you have the room for it. The spring-summer flowers are two-tone : strawberry in bud, opening to creamy-custard.

If you like hedge-clipping you can grow it in this way, with regular pruning; it's more uusally seen covering arbours, pergolas, chainlink fences, and climbing into large trees.
