To all Gardeners,

I recently planted a honeysuckle into my garden, in a partial shadey
area against a trellis. I loosely fixed the new growth against the
trellis, and it seemed to do very well, almost doubling it's height with
lots of new green shoots. In the last couple of weeks however, it seems
to have lost a lot of green leaves around the base and it seems to be
travelling up the rest of the plant leaving lots of brown twiggey bits
with no new growth!! The current green leaves have a white colur on
them? I am not sure what I have done to make it react this way, I have
been watering it every other week with miracle grow.

Can anyone help at all? Is it dying and if so, is there anything I can
do? The plant has never flowered.

Thank you


It's called 'Autumn' and it happens every year :-))



Thanks Mike, I am a novice to all this !

Will my flower come back alive next spring, or is this the last i will see
of it now for good?

Thanks for help.

Grow again. You might like to try to interweave the twiggy stems through the
trellis a bit more but beware, they are very wiggy and snappy. Have you got
lots of red berries on the plant? Because the birds love those :-)
