FAQ about Honeysuckle – Classic

What kind of soil suits honeysuckle best?
Honeysuckle thrives in well-drained, humus-rich soil and tolerates most soil types from clay to sand as long as water does not stand. A pH of 6.0-7.5 is ideal. It likes its roots in the shade and its flowers in the sun.
How often should honeysuckle be watered?
In the first year after planting, water regularly and deeply once or twice a week. Established plants are fairly drought-tolerant but appreciate extra water in long dry spells to flower well.
When and how should honeysuckle be pruned?
Prune climbing honeysuckle straight after flowering. Remove dead, damaged and tangled shoots and thin out the plant if it has become too dense. Overgrown plants can be cut back hard in early spring, though this reduces flowering that year.
Which pests and diseases can affect honeysuckle?
Aphids are the most common pest, especially on young shoots in early summer. Powdery mildew can appear with poor air circulation and dry roots. Rinse off aphids with water and keep the plant well watered.
Is honeysuckle hardy?
Yes, most honeysuckles are hardy and need little preparation for winter. Mulch around the roots with bark, leaves or compost. Avoid pruning in autumn, and give newly planted specimens a little extra protection in their first winter.
