Tips for growing Honeysuckle

• A twining, climbing plant most honeysuckles need some support as they shoot skywards for up to 30 feet. Try trellis or and old tree for support.
• Most varieties of the honeysuckle are famous for the scent of the flowers which is sweet and powerful. Aim for a red Lonicera tellmanniana or L.fragrantisima rather than the Belgica.
• Left to trail the plants can still be effective in a semi woodland enviroment
• Lonicera nitida  honeysuckle can be pruned and shaped like topiary. I can recommend Baggesens Gold a small yellow leaved variety.
• Plants root easily from summer cuttings. I have a plant that has moved house at least 5 times.
