Hi
I am new, but I live in Northern VA and was wondering how hard is it to
grow honeysuckle. I think I have a dying plant in my front yard and I would
like to replace it with Honeysuckle. I was orginally thinking roses, but I
have been told that they are hard to grow so I changed my mind and thought
about honeysuckle.

Note Tom's comments. Just be sure to realize that honeysuckle is a
vine only as far as I'm aware. It's not a bush or shrub.


Untrue. There are many varieties of Lonicera (150+). Some are vines, some
are shrubs. Some species are invasive to the point of being parasitic,
while others are simply nice, fragrant plants.

Thanks - I learned something. As I said I was only aware of the vines.
I might have to check into the shrub varieties.
