Reviews
Plant shrubby honeysuckle in borders in any moist well drained soil. Position in a sunny or semi shaded site. Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season while young plants become established. Older plants will require only occasional attention.
Winter flowering Honeysuckle plants can be pruned immediately after flowering. Prune back flowered stems to a pair of strong buds or vigorous younger growth and reduce remaining stems to restrict the shrub to the space available. In autumn apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant.
