This climber is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
"Nothing beats the sweet honeyed fragrance perfuming the warm, soft mellow air of a summer’s evening. Remember to take hardwood cuttings in Autumn of this indispensable plant –they are easy to do and almost foolproof"

This is the true common honeysuckle and it's the best. No poncy hybrid, this is a no nonsense beast that has climbed 3 metres in 6 months and will no doubt take iver the world next year. We have planted it in a Victorian vault, in a very large pot, and it is doing a beautiful job where not much will grow! The wall is in shade pretty much all day, but it has climbed up and is now gracefully entwining itself around the railings. What a star plant!

It grew quickly and it's already shooting this year.

Hello, and thank you for your question. It sounds as though the honeysuckle may be dominating over the Jasmine, and while the two are very complementary together it may be that you need to prune back some of the older stems of the honeysuckle, after flowering, to a strong growing point (above a leaf joint).

This is a pretty large and vigorous climber, so it will not flourish for any length of time in a container.

Wildlife-friendly gardens are not only more interesting as you can watch all the comings and goings, but they are often more productive as many creatures will help increase pollination. Garden ponds act as a magnet to dragonflies and damsel flies, along w

As summer turns to autumn, thoughts turn to tidying the garden after the exuberance of summer and it is now an ideal time to prune many late-summer-flowering shrubs to keep them vigorous and flowering well. It’s also not too late to complete the pruning j

Every garden contains some shady areas and honeysuckles like to have their feet in good soil in shade, before they scramble into the sun. They take up very little ground room and they can climb trees, or drape themselves over walls, or they can be shaped

Take advantage and do some early spring planting, but only on clement days. You can never have too many climbers and twiners, and now is the ideal time to get them in. They take up little ground space, so they’re perfect for smaller plots, and then they g

As frost descends and the leaves gather on the lawn, the most important colour is red because it glows against the backdrop of fading stems in muddy shades of khaki, grey and brown. Red’s the colour that fixes the rest of the palette and luckily red berri
