Information for Gardeners

Honeysuckle, Climbing

White: Lonicera japonica 'Halliana'
Orange: Lonicera x brownii 'Dropmore Scarlet'
Pink/Yellow: Lonicera x heckrotti 'Goldflame'

Hardy in zones 5-8.

Grow in full sun to partial shade. Honeysuckles will perform best in moist soils, however all honeysuckles are somewhat drought tolerant. Prefers well-drained, slightly alkaline soils. Attaches by twining stems, to whatever is nearby, provide a support. Prune when too large back to main stems. Remove climber from its supports, to see if the main stems are very old. If so, cut them back to the vigorous young shoots near the bases of the stems. If the main stems are only a few years old, retain them and remove all lateral growth. Then tie the pruned vine back into position on its supports. Can grow up to 5.5 meteres (18 feet) in height and up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) in width.
