About 3 years ago we planted 2 honeysuckle plants/climbers into 2 planters with a trellis at the back. The first year of growth produced an abundance of shoots and leaves with some flowers. The second year it did not do very well at all. Not many shoots/leaves, and no flowers. So last backend I cut both plants right back and hoped they would do better this year, but they did not. Again like last year, no flowers and not many shoots/leaves. Today I was about to start cutting them back again, when I noticed some small blue berries on them, so I stopped cutting and left them for the birds to eat. I have an elderly honeysuckle which I cut hard back a couple of years ago. Last year it re grew as expected, but this year made little extra growth, and the flowers were sparse. Maybe next season is time to replace it with a couple of clematis. Chris -- Chris J Dixon Nottingham UK Have dancing shoes, will ceilidh. |
