Growing Instructions
Plant Honeysuckle in spring after the danger of frost has passed in a full sun to partially shaded location in well draining soil. Soil preparation: Amend soil with compost to aid in drainage and to give the vine some nutrition to help with root development. Planting: Dig a hole in a well-draining location. Place vine in hole so that the root ball is level within the bed. Cover with soil and tamp down to remove air pockets. Watering: Water thoroughly at planting. While actively growing, water frequently and thoroughly so that water will reach the roots. Mulching: Mulch to keep the soil cool and to prevent the soil from drying out.
Care Tip
Honeysuckle blooms on the previous year's growth so you can leave it be or trim back.
