Culture:
Honeysuckle prefers full sun, but will tolerate partial sun, and even some
light, afternoon shade. Once established, Honeysuckle needs only moderate
watering, unless the summer is very dry. If the
planting area is properly prepared and mulched, your Honeysuckle will be
satisfied with a light annual application of a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) at
the beginning of the growing season, and
then once again in the middle of the blooming season.
When your plant has finished blooming, you can prune for shape.
Only lightly prune plants until they are well established at about 2 years old.
After which you can prune to desired height. We keep ours at 6 feet.
Excellent for use as a screen (we use them to hide our air conditioning unit), hedge, or specimen plant. Birds love the fruit!
