Honeysuckle
Question Body:
I want to plant some honeysuckle in my garden as I love the smell of it! I was wondering what growing conditions it needs, i.e. soil type and how much sun does it need etc.
Answer Body:
Your Honeysuckle will grow best in full sun or semi-shade. It likes a rich fertile soil type which has good drainage. Most soil types are like this but if yours is heavy with poor drainage dig in plenty of Growise Farmyard manure or our Enriched Top soil. Choose a good hardy type like Lonicera periclymenum the common woodbine which has the best fragrance and is fast growing with brilliant striking purple red and white flowers.
