How To Grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

If honeysuckle aphids appear, wipe them off and spray the leaves with soapy water. Spring feeding will help to prevent powdery mildew. MORE

Keep moist and water during dry spells

Keep soil moist, watering weekly in the warmer months and fortnightly in Winter if dry.

Sun/Partial shade

Lonicera will be happy in sun or partial shade. Avoid strong sunlight, which can scorch your plant.

Chalk/Clay/Loam/Sand

Lonicera thrives in any soil type as long as it is moist and well-drained.

Feed in Spring

Feed with a general purpose fertiliser and mulch in Spring to help reduce the risk of powdery mildew.
