Description

Lonicera sempervirens is a semi-evergreen climbing Honeysuckle admired for its distinct, trumpet-shaped flowers which take on vibrant shades of orange and red. Highly fragrant, the blooms are an excellent source of pollen—perfect for supporting essential pollinators.

A great choice for decorating walls and fences, plant this medium-sized, twining Honeysuckle in a moist, well-draining soil against a climbing support for the best results. Expect an approximate height and spread of 4 x 1 metres in 20 years from Lonicera sempervirens.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

  • Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
  • Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
  • Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
  • To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

  • Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
  • Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
  • Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
  • Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

  • Water generously around the base of the plant.
  • If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
