| Cultivation:
Plant Japanese Honeysuckle in full sun in compost rich, well drained
moist soils. The vine tolerates light shade, but shading
reduces flowering and foliage coloration decreases.
Japanese Honeysuckle can be invasive and eventually smother out
neighboring plants.
Japanese Honeysuckle is a deciduous
vigorous climber that requires support. The vine is best used on
trellises, fences arbors or pergolas, but the twining vines will
cover virtually anything.
Its tubular, purplish-white
flowers are quite fragrant. Flowers develop into a bluish-black berry
in fall.
Propagation:
Purchase pre-started Vines at your local Garden Center or
Nursery. Cuttings can be rooted during summer.
Potential pests ~ diseases:
Aphids or powdery mildew.
