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 :-)


thanks Mike, no there are no red berries on the plant, will see what
happens.

Many thanks
