Lonicera 'Honeysuckle': Purple

 This plant thrives best in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 6 hours of direct daily sunlight for optimal growth and flowering. While it tolerates partial shade, full sun ensures the best, deepest purple foliage color and heaviest bloom. 

This plant requires consistent moisture when establishing (about 1 inch per week), but becomes drought-tolerant once established and mature, needing water mainly during prolonged dry spells. They prefer well-drained soil, as overwatering causes root rot. Established vines typically need low to moderate water, roughly every 10–14 days. 

This plant s listed as aggressive and can displace native plants. We suggest keeping this plant potted, but if used for ground cover you will likely need to prune. We recommend Bond Bypass Pruner.

Your plant needs food too! We suggest Espoma Flower Tone. 

Proper nutrition is important to the health of your plant and its longevity. To ensure your plant is getting the appropriate nutrition, use a fertilizer labelled for this tree type and apply according to the label.

Berries are toxic to people, dogs, and cats if ingested.
